[Politics] Brighton & Hove City Council Elections- 2023 Edition

[Chicken Run]

Greens have won full control of Mid Suffolk District Council. That's the first council they have ever had control over.

It will be a minority administration, neither green or Labour will win a majority. I’m voting green and will in all likelihood return a green councillor

Did you return a green Cllr in the end?

I did, returned two. I’m surprised at the Labour majority, I thought they’d be the largest party. Still the people have spoken, I accept the result. Been a good day for the Greens nationally which has softened the blow for me somewhat. Watching the tories get skewered pretty much everywhere has been fun today.

Davis & Pickett?

Tories almost wiped out in Horsham of all places, lost 21 councillors.

LD's now in charge which would have pleased my late father-in-law as he was a (LD) Chair of HDC...

Really?

It’s a shared operation as of 2021 with Greens & Labour having the same number of seats, prior to that in 2016 it was a Labour run council

I was aware.

My point is that Brighton and Bristol normally return large numbers of Green councillors. Pretty rare in the UK.

For a non Labour/Tory/LibDem party to gain overall control, under PR, is near to impossible.

Davis & Pickett?

Shanks & Mcleay. West Hill & North Laine. New ward after the boundary changes

Did you return a green Cllr in the end?

Not here. Greens took a right thumping in Queen's Park

Congratulations to Labour who have done incredibly well in Brighton & Hove. It has been a bad day for the Greens & the Conservatives, however, from a personal perspective I am delighted that I have been given the honour & privilege to represent all the residents of Westdene & Hove Park even as a Conservative Councillor!

I agree. Becoming the largest party in local government for the first time since 2002 is a rotten feeling

Now use those brains you were born with and have made you successful. Get rid of all your silly political biases, all of you, and work for the good of the city. You are more than capable. Oh, good luck and well done on your election.

I knew a Tory councillor in Hove once, Brian Oxley. Top ward councillor and fine bloke who cared about the city first. Please be like Brian.

Congratulations to anyone elected from ANY political party who is committed enough to make a difference through legitimate democratic means at a local or national level when spouting, meaningless point scoring irrelevant, bollox (me included) across social media is all the rage these days

Fantastic to see the Greens get spanked.

 

[worthingseagull123]

A good day for Labour.

Isn’t playing at sock puppets a banning offence for both accounts?

Do please stop pretending you have the first idea what you are talking about.

You are either lying in your accusation the accounts are in anyway linked or you are clearly unfit to moderate anything. Which is it?

Making unfounded accusations should result in an automaitc ban or at the very least a grovelling apology ..
