They have done this for years. I stood as an independent candidate in 2014 and it was the same thing.
That time it was in the Brixton Rec downstairs - with no obvious refreshment facilities for a 5-6 hour session, as you say.

The people who do the counting are not necessarily council staff - they were recruiting a couple of weeks back.

It would cost less money if they didn't have elections at all!!!

Since Lambeth is so boring this morning - here is a snippet from "My London News"
Covid conspiracy theorist Piers Corbyn finished fourth last in the Faraday ward which he contested. He picked up 200 votes – more than two Lib Dem candidates and one Tory candidate standing in the same seat.

I see from the Brixton Buzz live blog that this count is live from the KIA Oval conference cnetre.
Would you care to give an estimate of the room hire charges?
I attended the general election count in 1997 which was held at Lambeth Town Hall - all three constituencies.
Two were counted in the assembly hall and one in Room 8 (as was).
Overnight - declaring at 4 am.
Why is New Labour so pathetic it just can't perform like anywhere else these days? And has to hire a cricket ground conference centre not to do it?

Is this a dumb question ... how does Labour differ from Labour & Cooperative Party?
And which bright spark designed this helpful graphic
(And by the way - if as I did you assumed that the pieces of pie corresponded with the order of the titles (i.e. L&CP on the right of the pie) you'd be mistaken!)

It's a form of electoral alliance between Labour and the Co-operative party they've had since the nineteen twenties. Something to do with not standing against each other in elections and the Labour & Co-op candidates are jointly decided on by both parties.

Labour & Co-op members tend to be the dullest of soft left & blairite drones IME. You just have to check out their list of MPs

I was wondering this myself and doing a quick google I found Frequently Asked Questions - it seems they are essentially the same as the Labour Party. Is it just like a union endorsement thing or do their candidates get extra funding etc?
