One minor correction - in both 2022 & 2023 the Scottish Family Party stood Nickie Willis here not Michael Willis. I don't know if they're related.

I'd imagine so, Willis is not a particularly common name in Scotland and even less so for activists in the Scottish Family Party one would imagine

That's quite a good result for Labour sort of hiding there. Con and SNP down, Lab up.

So the Scottish Family Party got exactly 50 votes here for the third election in a row. It would be fun to have a Venn diagram of the SFPvoters in those 3 elections. How many voted SFP in all three? I sometimes wonder what would be the Venn diagram of my voters in the three by-elections which I stood in in Bensham Manor ward in Croydon. In 1996, 2004 and 2007 I got 25, 44 and 15 votes respectively. |

The full transfer report will be interesting - looks like it might have been close if Labour had pipped the SNP into the second.

If only one person voted for you on all three occasions, that would be quite impressive in my view. |
