The only place I could find a breakdown for my area was on my Local Authority's website.

Just to clear something up about Nancy Platt, she hasn't been parachuted in from London. As far as I am aware, she was/is a nurse from Worthing.

I also think the Greens may well get Brighton Pav, they may be able to capitalise on the usual unpopularity of a local authority(in this case the Tory council). Plus, IF, the Tories put forward the free vote idea re: hunting ban repeal, I think it would turn off alot of "liberal" types in Brighton who while almost swayed by silky Dave, would find their infinity foods lifestyle incompatible with policies such as that.
 




We can't assume that the European election results will produce the same outcome when the parliamentary elections come round.

Even on Thursday, there was a huge variation between what happened in the County Council elections, compared with the European vote. And it was exactly the same people who were voting in each election.

These district-wide figures for Lewes prove the point:-

ESCC Election results in Lewes District:-
Liberal Democrat 11,326
Conservative 11,223
Independent 3,032
Green 2,772
UK Independence 2,483
Labour 1,557


European Election results in Lewes District:-
Conservative 8,815
Liberal Democrat 7,540
UK Independence 6,133
Green 5,080
Labour 1,621
British National Party 1,021
English Democrats 514
Christian Party 405
No2EU: Yes to Democracy 348
Pro Democracy: Libertas.eu 254
United Kingdom First 215
Socialist Labour Party 207
Jury Team 131
The Peace Party 94
The Roman Party Ave! 72


The Lib Dems and Tories got many more votes in the council election than they did in the European election. The Greens, UKIP and Labour did better in the European poll.

Interesting. She is/was a nurse, but she said herself she is from London. I am paraphrasing the word 'Parachuting', but in effect it is what is happening.

Whatever, she certainly ain't from round these parts.

.

I don't think that's true. I can't find out where she was born (not that it's that important) or where she's from, but she's certainly never been a nurse in Worthing - or if she has she's keeping very quiet about it. Her website is all about how she's worked for the London fire brigade , the Scottish and Welsh assemblies and various health/maternity campaign groups. Not much real-world experience.

Why is it the Greens can win seats and be seen as the dogs bollocks but when it comes to the BNP they are treated with utter disgust ? Both small minority parties with radical manifestos.

That is by far and away the most spasticated comment I have EVER read on this forum.
