County Council Election Results

Overnight counting in East Sussex has only taken place in Eastbourne and Hastings. All wards in the two towns have now declared.

Seats won so far:-

Labour 7
Lib Dems 6
Conservatives 4

Interesting.

Interesting.

How so?

 

[Lord Bracknell]

How so?

A very poor performance by the Tories. And a good show by UKIP in traditionally Tory wards.

Isn't that what happens in these mid term elections?

To an extent. But everyone was predicting the collapse of the Lib Dems as well. That hasn't happened. Tory rule on ESCC might be over. But that will depend on tomorrow's results in the rural areas of the county.

UKIP didn't do badly in the by-election either.

 

[Westdene Seagull]

Looks like turnout is going to be an average of around 30% - the 3 main parties should really understand that THEY are responsible for this apathy !

A pleasant posting to wake up to. Thank you.

Lib Dems come seventh in South Shields By- Election behind two independents and the BNP.......

Interesting.

Hasn't the only change been labour taking three Tory seats in Hastings. As a traditionally labour area that's not really that surprising.

Looks like they've had very good results most places.

Maybe Cameron and Clegg will realise no one wants them now.

U turn after u turn . The working classes hammered . Their own pockets lined and public services flogged off while making personal gain .

They need this dagger in the heart to wake them up to get more in touch

I think that clueless idiot Osbourne has done them more damage. He's a man well out of his depth.

Absolutely. People now don't vote "for" parties, they vote against and put the tick for whoever's left. Ukip are appalling but when the alternaives are these Cons, Labour or the laughable LibDems then you can understand it.

I couldn't agree more. Tory strategists must be simple if they can't see how the rest of us perceive the smug little toad.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

UKIP have won the ESCC seat at Pevensey & Westham.

True; but that turnout figure has been pretty standard for Local Govt Elections for several years now; its not just a sudden drop this time round.

UKIP have won the ESCC seat at Pevensey & Westham.

Isn't that the seat a certain Mr D Bellotti once unsuccessfully stood for?
