2014 EU/Local Election Thread - Predictions and Results

BBC now putting an Clegg-sceptic Lib Dem against Alexander. Brilliant.

And totally without answers to Tod's points

 

[TheHoodedClaw]

This is interesting - someone on twitter has crunched the numbers by local authority area and turnout for NE England and it seems the higher the turnout the lower the kipper vote.

That's a terrible graph. and the person who made it should be ashamed.

They should settle it with fisticuffs, then we all win

 

[Maurice Picarda]

Why the buggery is it taking so long for the London result when they have had three days to tot them up? I want to go to bed.

 

[Belushi]

Beaker is about to burst into tears any second

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Well, Robinson was President of the Conservative Party youth group.

Indeed. He makes my skin crawl whenever I see him.

 

[brogdale]

Blinking badly.

 

[brogdale]

Sutton disproving Beaker...LD -6%

 

[mk12]

Labour +20% in Lewisham. UKIP +3

 

[mk12]

Why are the 'others' doing so badly? -16 to -18 % in London areas. Is that due to the BNP's demise?

Because London is full of the Liberal Left elite who sneer at ordinary folk forced to vote UKIP and this explains everything this weekend.

The result of all this will be

Clegg exits stage right

Vince waltzes on from the left and starts slagging the Tories. All or at least much is forgiven

 

[mk12]

It seems to be due to Tower Hamlets.

 

[butchersapron]

Tower hamlets counting further delayed, sky political types suggesting complete breakdown and disaster. God knows how long before they're done and the London results can get moving.

 

[ddraig]

crap excuses on the bbc re that too!

General squeeze on other parties, Green's vote down, PC vote down.

Here's Danny now singing a tune.

It's pissing me right off. I need to post up the results on Brixton Buzz.

What is going on there - I read about some people congregating outside the count for the mayor but nothing beyond that.

I wouldn't mind to guess, but it doesn't sounds at all healthy.

 

[ddraig]

on the beeb they waffled about that and it taking ages due to possible turnout of 50%+ and also having to give staff at the count 24hrs break
so due to mayoral election and disruption and large turnout
or shit organisation

You'll just have to hold the front page

 

[butchersapron]

I hope it's not the same team who are counting the euro votes in th as who are supposed to be counting the locals, if it is, you can forget a result tonight.

 

[Maurice Picarda]

There's no legal reason for London to withhold the borough-level votes until Tower Hamlets provide theirs - whoever makes the decision centrally will just have to forego the drama of revealing everything in one fell swoop.

 

[Dogsauce]

London will boost the labour percent when it comes through, right?

 

[free spirit]

the graphic bbc showed for east anglia showed the UKIP vote splitting the tory vote in some districts to leave Labour winning in a few previously tory districts, which is potentially interesting for the general election.

Right.

 

[Dogsauce]

That podium in the south-east results, Farage, Dan 'the NHS was a mistake' Hannan and former Tory-turned UKIP Atkinson. A parade of tossers, and they also gave the lib dems their sole seat. I'm going to stand on the balcony here and shout 'cunts!' in a south-easterly direction. Anybody going to join me?

This is exactly what happened in 3 or 4 wards in the council election here in Nuneaton & Bedworth. Tories here are down to one councillor
