Another stunning result for TUSC, I see  Think the only people who did nothing were TUSC, Sibley and the Tories. I suspect Hicks came fifth because he was the only one of the nine candidates who lived in the ward! |

Surely it must be close in Nottingham if we haven't had the result yet...

We only got the turnout figure from Wollaton West just before midnight so it could just be a slow count, combined with a relatively heavy poll.

That is rather surprising. Is this the first time they've won this ward? I don;t have 1995 figurtes to hand but in any case ward boundaries were different then. Is this largely a result of mobilising the student vote perhaps?

UKIP getting 12% in a ward like this is further evidence that the polls putting them on 15-20% across the country are roughly correct.

In 1997 the Wollaton ward was a split result, with a Conservative topping the poll and Labour coming second. That ward included Lenton Abbey and didn't include the Elvaston Road area. Both councillors elected were incumbents, so it's possible this was about what happened in 1995 as well.

On this evidence Nottingham might be the next to join the list of cities where there are no Conservative councillors.

great result in Nottingham and the Tories can not complain about UKIP splitting their vote. I do look at the results and wonder just how bad things could be for the Tories in 2014 Met elections in the Midlands and North if UKIP keep at this level ?

Culley and Casson elected. T'out 44.9% |

I do look at the results and wonder just how bad things could be for the Tories in 2014 Met elections in the Midlands and North if UKIP keep at this level ? In some places they don't have many seats to lose next year because they didn't do very well in 2010. E.g. In Wigan they won one seat in 2012 but none in 2010. There are some places where they can lose a lot- Dudley, Birmingham, and no seats in Sefton isn't out of the question. Vote shares could be well down in some places,and truly dreadful in wards like Walkergate where they have no chance of winning( and that means every ward in some places). In Walkergate the few Conservative voters there are could reasonably vote for UKIP next year because they have a better (but still small) chance of winning. Repeat across the Conservative deserts and the number of votes could be far worse even than it usually is. |
