Only a 38 pct overall voting turn out in Chelmsford area , BNP beating labour in a few areas. totally split Tory and Lib , no surprises.
I didn't realise his vote was down, shame really he's a really nice bloke and quite passionate about his politics. Perhaps he's attached to the wrong party and should have stood independantly especially in that area.

He's great - exactly the sort of person we need for an independed w'c politics, he's mired in the historical left though.

I've not seen any from lancs or cumbria yet, and no county council elections in east london or thurrock so too early to say, no results in for epping forest but some good results for them in other parts of essex, not enough to get them in in the east, but that wasn't happening anyway
beeb have said that labour have lost overall controll of staffs. stoke's not under the county council any more, and newcastle under lyme isn't in yet, they seem to have done well in cannock chase thogh
If they are able to translate CC election results into Euro votes, they will do well. The probelms is that some voters may well vote UKIP in the Euros and BNP in the CC elections. However, everywhere they are fighting a full CC slate, their vote is up on 2004 in % terms
No BNp wins so far, one very near miss in Warwickshire
One UKIP Gain
1 Gain for SPP in Barrow

In Lincoln, all 77 seats have been declared and Labour, as far as I can see, have a grand total of 4.
Boston Bypass Independents: 1
Independents: 3
Labour: 4
Lincolnshire Independents: 4
Lib Dems: 5
Tories: 60
The city itself was the acid test - 9 of the 10 seats were Labour and the Tories only had one because the councillor crossed the floor.
Labour retook that one from the Tories, held two and lost the rest.
Labour MP Gillian Merron has stated: "The Tories will be disappointed with the result."
Yeah, of course they will.
It's over, face facts.

woot!
north norfolk is in, not got their map to work yet, but looks fairly even between con and ld, could be some gains for the tories there, doesn't look like the greens stood in many seats there as the overall results say 2%

Judging by some remarks I've picked up on from other sites we need a good wc Lefty on the terraces right now. Makes me wish even more he was independant.

Interestingly the successful BNP candidate in Burnley is already a district councillor; what does this say about the argument that once voters have experienced a BNP representative they won't make the same mistake twice?

The only info people really get about what their councillors are doing "on their behalf" is what the said councillors tell them, for one thing.

I reckon they should take politics off telly, and everyone should get a proper, full manifesto for each candidate through their door and vote from that info alone.
*sigh* As if politics will ever been taken that seriously though. I can't begin to explain how desparately sad and exhausted I am by it all.

In the 5 Burnley CC wards they polled average of 24.9%- up from 15.3% in 2004. One part of them getting elected in the NW was them not going Belly up in Burnley, and they clearly haven`t
