Good luck to "The Seagulls 4"
No luck will play a part in this election.
Well done all four of you for putting yourselves forward and for taking the fight to the enemies of our club.
I expect the people of Lewes District to rise with us and give the LibDems a bloody nose.
No matter what the result, you are all heroes of our struggle for a stadium and for openness in local government.

Cast my X at 730 this morning in the Priory ward. I am sure there will be at least 1 independent councillor there as Ruth O'Keefe does a great job.
Got a good response when delivering leaflets in the Cranedown/Kingston Rd area earlier in the week.

I have been trying to persuade Mrs Marshmellowman to vote for the Seagulls party for ages. I believe that my own style of subliminal canvassing will pay off and she will put her tick in the right box.
I will be casting my vote at the Town Hall tonight and eagerly looking forward to the result. The birth of the Seagulls party has finally given me more than a passing interest in local politics.
Well done all concerned.

Another example of the fantastic response of Albion fans in the face of a threat to our club. You should be very proud of what you've already achieved - anything more is a bonus. I can't do much in Horsham to add to your votes tally - but I too am inspired to ruin my ballot paper by drawing a seagull party box on it and planting my cross.
GOOD LUCK AND THANK YOU

Not that it'll make a jot of difference where I live, but the Lib Dems lost 8 votes on local councils just because of me and because Falmer is a NATIONAL issue.

I'd rather kiss Dick Tights arse than vote Lib Dem in ANY election after what they have done to us

Good luck to all concerned, whip those Lib Dem butts.

It's difficult to predict how the vote went in my ward (Ringmer & Ouse Valley). At the by-election last August, the result was:-
Lib Dems 44%;
Conservatives 32%
Seagulls 22%
Labour 2%
This time, there is no Labour candidate, one Green candidate and an Independent candidate - and three councillors to be elected. The Tories and Lib Dems each had three candidates and I was the only Seagull.
My general impression, gained from touring the ward's four polling stations during the day, is that the Tories have been putting in a big effort and that the Lib Dems have been doing much less than they did last August. The anti-incinerator feeling at the southern end of the ward continues to benefit the Lib Dems, but this is counterbalanced by a widespread view that the Lib Dems have messed up on local issues in Ringmer (in particular, a plan for a wind turbine on the downs above the village).
One of the Tory candidates was predicting this evening that there will be two Lib Dems and one Tory elected in the ward and that, overall, there will be more Tories on the council than before and a significant drop in the number of Lib Dem councillors.
As for the wards in Lewes town, the Lib Dems seem to be somewhat demoralised, fearing a threat from independent candidates, including The Seagulls Party. But nobody can put any figures of just how the results will turn out.
At the 2003 elections, Lewes elected six Lib Dems and one Independent in the three wards. The established Independent, Ruth O'Keeffe seems certain to be re-elected, and the Green Party are feeling confident about getting at least one councillor elected (in Castle ward, where there was no Seagulls Party candidate).
As for Newhaven ... I haven't much of a clue how things went. In Ned's ward, it will be very difficult to dent the big Lib Dem majority, particularly with the incinerator issue playing well for them.
The future composition of the whole council will depend, above all, on how well the Tories can do in Seaford and East Saltdean & Telscombe. I get the feeling, though, that the Tories' resources were a bit stretched in these places and it's a big ask to expect them to sweep the Lib Dems from power.
But here's hoping. We'll find out tomorrow.

There's an irony here because...Ernest said:I'd rather kiss Dick Tights arse than vote Lib Dem in ANY election after what they have done to us
LIB DEMS gain ROCHDALE.
