Labour collapse in Burnley - probably because of disgust at the New Labour MP with her fingers on the expenses claim, Kitty Ussher. No results from Preston or Lancaster declared yet - what's keeping them?

jezeus wept - interesting times ahead
Is there any specific reason why these people would do well in Doncaster ?
They are certainly going to be interesting times. I think they will be turbulent as well. We may see a multi party future rather than just the big two slugging it out which may in the end be good for democracy but the political upheaval is going to be significant.
Quite scary seeing the England First lot getting 22%.

Labour Leader of Lancashire County Council Hazel Harding has lost her seat by over 500 votes - looks like the Tories are back in control after 25 years out of power.

Exasperated, not angry.
UKIPers who cant bring themselves to vote BNP I presume. It's 'only' 22% of the vote, but with the BNP's votes and a few tories, they'll get a strong second place in the end. I expect.

Donny has mad politics dating back to a corruption scandal in the nineties between the Labour leadership and a couple of Tories, there's a load of parties in the council chamber, and independents of various stripes.
I assume the EDs have a local "celebrity" or something though.

Greens take 12% in Preston City division - this is the division including Michael Lavalette's ward where Respect took 20% in 2005. Suggest a large proportion of Respect voters have switched to Greens. LiamPreston takes second place!
Labour have just gained a seat from the Greens in East Oxford -- two seats up for grabs and the top three results were within 30 votes of each other (Green 1542, Labour 1525, Green 1513). Labour were third last time -- Lib Dem vote collapsed this time.
The Labour guy who won is already a city councillor and defected from the Lib Dems a couple of years ago. He's not exactly the sharpest knife in the drawer.

I'm sure you'd be saying how great it was that the largest single percentage of the vote got through, showing the majority backing for an individual candidate, if it had been the greens or something else that won.
