2014 EU/Local Election Thread - Predictions and Results

[elbows]

Gibraltar gets added into the south-west region apparently. Are the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man added in somewhere too?

The channel islands aren't part of the EU.

He reckons London might be their last chance. But their councillors have been massacred here.

Yes, apart from my borough.

Here comes the Welsh vote...

 

[Ranbay]

Tidy

Robinson "a collapse of the LD vote in their own heartland"

Yes come on the wipeout. (Don't think it will happen tho)

 

[tim]

Not that surprising considering that the BNP had a seat there last time

Seeing Andrew Brons (nasty even by BNP standards) being replaced by an Asian UKIP MEP gives some satisfacton

 

[brogdale]

28k

 

[tony.c]

This is very depressing

Look on the bright side - the LibDems are being wiped out.

 

[SpineyNorman]

shame moon23 isn't posting here any more

[J Ed]

Another Green MEP, the Lib Dems are so fucked

 

[farmerbarleymow]

An unusual phrase broadcast on R4 a few minutes back - 'complete bollocks' by an turfed out MEP describing UKIP I think. He apologised but Jim Naughtie gleefully repeated it.

 

[editor]

Labour, UKIP, Con and PC for Wales, then. Same as before, I think.

 

[redsquirrel]

Here comes the Welsh vote...

UKIP with 27.55% showing the idea that they can only do well in England is rubbish.

PC vote down too, similar effect to the Greens I guess.

 

[agricola]

UKIP finish second in Wales? I blame those south of Aberystwyth.

 

[TheHoodedClaw]

The channel islands aren't part of the EU.

Neither is the Isle of Man. Well, I've learned something today.

Embarrassing - although their vote is all along the English border.

 

[butchersapron]

UKIP finish second in Wales? I blame those south of Aberystwyth.

By 5000 votes as well.

 

[brogdale]

Border & North for UKIP.

 

[JimW]

Lib dems lumped in with 'others' in Wales.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

I can't see the vid on my phone but saw the one on the BBC.

 

[butchersapron]

Another Green dip in wales.

 

[editor]

Fuck's sake. What's the matter with the South West.

 

[redsquirrel]

UKIP finish second in Wales? I blame those south of Aberystwyth.

I think the opposite was the case they finished above PC in some of it's heartlands.

Greens are down half of one percent overall so far

 

[JTG]

butchersapron - Greens 800 ahead of Tories in Bristol

 

[butchersapron]

Fuck's sake. What's the matter with the South West.

View attachment 54538

No surprise.

 

[free spirit]

Lib Dems are behind the Greens in every region other than the north east (that the BBC have any figures for)

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Neither is the Isle of Man. Well, I've learned something today.

They're Crown Dependencies - nominally independent but we look after defence and foreign policy sort of stuff.

 

[agricola]

Maitlis is just showing a map which purports to show the Perfeddwlad infested with UKIPers.
