2014 EU/Local Election Thread - Predictions and Results

Tim Donovan must be bored shitless standing around that empty hall.

How fucking useless are Tower Hamlets.

 

[elbows]

Ahh a pointless non-update.

 

[belboid]

Excuse my ignorance, but the groups listed here:

"
Here is the European parliament's latest projection of the breakdown of seats in the new parliament"

are all UK parties lumped into these groupings?

I can't remember what the SNP are, but the others are the obvious ones. Ukip are EFD along with the Ligue Nord and various Eastern European bigots. Are PC in with the Nordic left?

Tower Hamlets turn out over 50% apparently. Sure that's all above board

Ahh a pointless non-update.

If it was the one I saw (and I'm about to collapse in a heap) then we learned that the leader of the Greens was knitting against nuclear weapons?

Rubbish analysis on the BBC ATM, none of them recognising that UKIP aren't just taking votes from the Tories but also Labour. Really the analysis on U75 is better.

Reading the guardian blog out of boredom. It says this:

Tory sources are claiming that Labour has been doing very badly in some of its target seats. In North Warwickshire (Labour's number one target, they say), Stroud (number 16 on the target list), Gloucester (38th on the target list), Erewash (42nd on the target list), Swindon (South Swindon is 55th) and Peterborough (78th on the target list), Labour apparently came third, behind the Conservatives and Ukip. AS

Well the North Warwickshire vote was:

UKIP 6,508
Conservative Party 4,169
Labour Party 3,711
Green Party 694
Liberal Democrats 406
An Independence from Europe 356
We Demand A Referendum Now 269
British National Party 263
English Democrats 138
NO2EU 49
Harmony Party 14

Kind of hard to find constituency results for previous EU elections for comparison.

What's the score with tower hamlets? Umpteen campaigns have led to a high turnout, and that's bad because...

cuts mean there aren't enough fingers to count them and no damp sponges to lubricate those fingers.

Quite selective with those eh. How did Labour do in the rest?

Animal Welfare ahead of BNP

 

[editor]

I'm going to throw in the towel soon... I can't take much more empty waffle.

 

[editor]

Another 15-20 mins. Aaaargh.

 

[editor]

They're really fucking waffling now.

 

[editor]

Am I the only one left standing here?!

 

[tim]

Am I the only one left standing here?!

No, I've just been off for a mug of soup

 

[belboid]

I'm still trying to catch up!

It's not good, is it?

 

[TheHoodedClaw]

Come on London for fucks sake

 

[editor]

This is better.

 

[tim]

All worth waiting for! Don't you all love the excitement of an election night?

 

[belboid]

How the fuck do Wales and Scotland have UKIP MP's???

 

[redsquirrel]

No LDs

[editor]

Now where is Lambeth's bloody vote?

 

[editor]

Ah, at last!

[farmerbarleymow]
