Aside from what is clearly the best result of the night (and perhaps the best single result since the Seagulls Party ousted key members of LDC) the city of B&H is now on a knife-edge between Green and Lab.

In fairness to our roving [former] reporter, he got over 1500 votes and did better than the other two Tories. But in general, democracy breathes a sigh of relief.

Bitter pill to swallow for Chicken Run. Diddums.
Suspect Green success here more down to rejection of Tories as per the country as a whole and concern over Momentum Labour. Mind you, I think Lab will be marginally the largest party

Indeed ....
I think Westdene has a point. Do you also scribble 'I want fortnightly rubbish collections' across your parliamentary ballot paper

He had a genuine member of NSC's finest shooing him off his property and no doubt rabble rousing his neighbours to do likewise during the hustings.

Watch out for fog.

The interesting question is whether the 2017 GE was an anomaly, which bucked the decades-long trend of the disintegration of the duopoly which, of course, is bolstered by the national FPTP constituency form.
Trying to do what sort of unsuitable thing? Britain's Got Talent? Dancing on Ice? Weather Forecaster? Celebrity bike repairer? Wagyu beef chef?

The leader of the Conservatives could lose his seat by a handful of votes.
Tony Janio represents the Hangleton and Knoll ward, which is currently subject to a re-count.
Various sources told The Argus that in one recount in the ward, the difference between votes was four.
In another vote check, it was one.

Funnily enough, a friend of mine, labour party member, in the same ward as me,was doing the leaflet drop in the road next to me and said she saw the guy who was doing my road.
She also said she thought it unlikely he would posting any of his leaflets.......I didn't get one.
I did vote for my local labour candidate in the end tho, and she got in, so happy days.
My ward has gone from 3 tories to 1 Tory, 1 Labour and 1 Lib Dem.
I'm really pleased you did. My point is that local councillors, on the whole, work hard and are not well paid for their job -- this means that it discourages younger and working class members of the public from standing, as they don't have savings to rest on. There are all sorts of people involved in politics -- of both the party and non-party form -- and the vast majority do make considerable sacrifices which is rarely acknowledged by the public..

I think Westdene has a point. It would be like writing 'I want fortnightly rubbish collections' across your parliamentary ballot paper
Did you see the Tory that won by one vote because the T of Brexit made a cross in his box.
