Dreaming of a green Xmas? Have fun.

[ChavWivaLawDegree]

I think this has been an interesting election.

Greens came in 4th last time, so I'll be dying to see what all the 'unusual' publicity has done for our position!

[Ant]

Yeah, good luck!

[SeanMacGabhann]

when does it all happen? And when will you be back to tell us?

(naturally, best of luck and all that!)

[ChavWivaLawDegree]

The count starts at 10 and we should get the result around midnight.

I'll post the results as soon as I get to a computer if anyone is interested.

[Ladygooner]

Of course we are interested!

[KalamityKel]

I'm confoosed...have I missed something?

[Keef]

Good luck Chav, 'av it large!!!

Does any one want to join the Green Party and maybe stand in their area in the future?

I'm Southwark Green Party membership secretary and convenor so I'll get you signed up and doing useful stuff straight away if you PM me.

We also have a supporters e-list if anyone wants to go on that and you don't have to be a member for that.

[ChavWivaLawDegree]

Ok it went something like this.

I won with 2500 votes, oops no that was my dream last night.

Oh yeh I remember, the Lib Dems got about 1200 votes, Labour about 600, Conservatives 260 I think, Greens (me!) got 122 and UKIP got 49.

The turnout was 25% which is only 1% less than the full council elections and is apparently a good turnout.

The Lib Dems and Labour fought really hard for this ward so getting 122 for us underfunded, understaffed Greens wasn't too bad!

It was all quite exciting being at the count. I missed it last time because I had exams, so it was nice to get to see democracy in action.

Pity the Lib Dem coalition still has the balance of power in the council, it would have been nice for them to have lost it, because I would love to see someone be able to challenge them. Lets see if they have any defections!

Anyway, I'm sure we'll be doing battle again sometime in the future.

Goodnight peeps.

Well done anyway, especially for thrashing UKIP and making the Tories look a bit silly...>:D
