A Green triumph in the land of the Aylesbury Duck,
not just a Green victory,
but a Green win in true blue country
With Lib Dem and Labour opposition.
Another Green Councillor in rural England.
The Hedgehog is happy tonight 😁

The Hedgehog is happy tonight 😁 Well done to the Aylesbury Vale Greens. I suspect a lot of UKIP votes went their way, along with the Indies. Certainly plenty of Kippers are happy to vote Lib Dem in a local vote. Mildly interesting Lib Dem and Labour vote shares in a squeeze situation

A brilliant win by David. I knew we were targeting it but didn't expect us to overtake the Tories this time round, though he has built up his profile over some years.

Mildly interesting Lib Dem and Labour vote shares in a squeeze situation Not technically a squeeze on the Labour vote as there was no Labour vote at all the previous time out..... arguably not a squeeze on Lib Dems either as there was a small increase in vote share. Presumably the additional Green votes came mostly from the Indy vote or direct from the Tories- or even from UKIP?

Presumably the additional Green votes came mostly from the Indy vote or direct from the Tories- or even from UKIP? It is an interesting result in that respect - the big changes are due to disappearance of UKIP and Indies. Greens clearly capitalised on that and I'd suggest scooped the localist and anti-politics vote as well as their natural supporters, but LDs also increased and Lab got a some votes from a standing start - the only party to stand and reduce its vote share were the Cons, which is a tad surprising in this area. Haven't read the previews I'm afraid, I suspect there must be local factors at play.

As they were defending the Tories could have, in one way, expected to lose vote share, but given there was no Indy or UKIP candidate this time, everyone standing could have increased their vote share.

While some in the party wouldn't want to have ex-Tory or UKIP support, I'm delighted, there is a huge amount of development in the pipeline in Buckinghamshire. I would be delighted if the Green party, became the home for people who want to preserve the English countryside. Im not saying that's why he won though, Dave is well known in the community, heavily into the transition towns movement, and put in a great deal of effort, the Tories ran a strong and very active campaign, and both the Lib Dems and Labour ran this time, while Labour didn't at the last election. So definitely a good result,hopefully there are more 'Haddenhams'brewing, come the May local elections.

It's also interesting that Mark Bale, the Conservative candidate was an independent last time around, presumably he carried across some of that support, which makes the result even better.

This ward was last fought in 2015. It is split between two county council divisions, which had elections in 2017. Bernwood: C 47%, Green (Lyons) 31, Lab 16, UKIP 6 Stone & Waddesdon C 61, LD 15, Lab 10, UKIP 7, Green 6
I know there is other territory as well in these two divisions, so swings cannot be calculated or firm conclusions drawn, but it looks like there was a squeeze on the Labour vote as well as a large increase in the Green share and decline in that of the Conservatives.

Is this ward near the High Speed rail route? The proposed HS2 route cuts through the eastern end of the ward between Stone and Aylesbury, and has been cropping up the local news lately. Very good result for the Greens, clearly helped by a good local candidate in David Lyons.

(AT's otherwise excellent preview does not say) Just been looking for the SNP on the Aylesbury council site, it doesn't seem to be there, so can't check how local the other candidates are.
