I've just noticed that 'Rigged' is trending. I'm not going to look but I have a suspicion I know why.I don't venture onto Twitter much any more but the unhinged screaming today is really quite something

All them postal votes from Pakistan...I've just noticed that 'Rigged' is trending. I'm not going to look but I have a suspicion I know why.

greater london assembly constituency results now declared,
10 labour, 3 tory, 1 LD (so think that's more labour than the london mayor results)
presume they are still doing complicated sums for the london-wide members

I can't find the overall London Assembly results (as opposed to the constituency members or borough by borough).
It looks like dropping STV affected the greens quite badly maybe?

still counting in croydon + sutton so the final numbers aren't yet known.
don't think anyone is posting running totals.
Watch the live results | London Elects has all the info, but not a summary

Exasperated, not angry.
Its almost exactly the average first round vote of the victor for all the election since 2008 (Livingstone's 2 wins were against bigger fields of candidates, so he only managed around 37%)

Yipchaa!
I'm reasonably sure I voted Green in that one, so glad to help knock the Tories down to third
Hadn't noticed just how similar their candidates names were, though!
For a second I worried "shit, did I vote for the right one", but I've now decided I probably didn't notice because I simply never even looked at the Tory candidate

I didn't know this either (we got a similar booklet for the North East Mayor). I just found the document that sets out the 10k thing:
In a little twist of the knife, the booklet includes the wording below, which makes it look the candidates who couldn't afford it just couldn't be bothered. Best democracy that money can buy.

london wide assembly members -
which (I'm still not sure how it works) translates in to seats as -
so combination of the 14 constituency + 11 london wide seats means GLA is now
Labour 11 (no change)
Conservative 8 (-1)
Green 3 (no change)
Liberal Democrats 2 (no change)
Reform UK 1 (+1)

Is it weighted by area or something? Must be some reason Labour got the most votes but only one seat.
Good to see Lozza failed at this part too! Obvs he'll claim it's rigged, the snowflakey little twat.

Surprised to see the greens not getting more. Thought they'd get a 4th easily. My green friends were even thinking 5 might be achievable

I think Hall will feel quite satisfied. Given what a useless candidate she is getting 800K votes ain't bad.

Is paragraph two at all related to paragraph 1?

Of course it's rigged.

Just on that, I've seen 'no address submitted' in union ballot booklets and wondered what that was about (UCU). As in 'why would you stand but not submit your platform/manifesto'. Pretty sure that's not some cost to the candidates thing though - fairly sure unions still get state funds for internal ballots (the legislation that forced unions to have ballots for internal elections).

During the televote only era, the results had the air of suspicion over them. Not now. Indeed during Turin 2022 the organisers interrupted countries they knew to have played silly games and created scores based on averages.
Eurovision isn't rigged.

Obvs not now as the thing ain't on yet. The London elections and eurovision aren't rigged most of the time as most of the time we're between votes. Oh and there were certainly some peculiar things going on with the voting last year

There is a fixed number of seats for the Assembly, a fixed number of Constituency members, and a fixed number of London wide members.
The Assembly members are calculated after the Constituency seats. Labour, by far the biggest winners, will have had their divisior much larger than the other parties so already they are far down the list.
