With so many candidates in Govan, I wonder if one will manage to beat Elgin City South for the record of least votes for a candidate.

It would surely be difficult to beat that - match it, maybe, but beat it? Provided both independants live in the ward, I can't see anyone actually failing to get a single vote...

[Deleted]

Manchester and Salford having polls on the same day, let battle commence.

[The Bishop]

Is that Govan line-up actually the biggest number of candidates for a local byelection in modern times?

[Richard Cromwell]

Even above hoping the BNP takes Royston, I hope the English Democrats get roasted; vote-splitting traitors...

And, as much as I abhor Communism, it would be charming to see the Communist Party take Govan.

Thanks Cromwell. That was the motivation I needed to get down to Barnsley. I can't wait to see you eat your words. If the English Democrats don't do very well it'll be because they're splitting resources between two seats, whereas your dying party could only find a candidate for one. 


Sorry everyone! I'm a new poster, but promise not to spend all my time fighting with Cromwell. I just couldn't resist.

I'm not a member of the BNP; I just recognise the English Democrats for what they are... (or what their leadership is, moreover).

Anyway, we'll see how you do.

Ancoats & Clayton is a peculiar shape, isn't it?

Ah, I've been wondering when an English Democrat might turn up on this forum.

It looks like it runs along the arterial roads.

All the wards are Labour, anyway

What's the story with the disappearance of the Lib Dem vote in Ancoats and Clayton after 2006? I notice the ward didn't exist pre-2004 - was a predecessor ward Lib Dem?

[Pete Whitehead]

The old Beswick & Clayton ward had some LD history

The Lib Dems won Beswick and Clayton by 25 votes in 2000, with Labour winning in 2002 by 122 and in 2003 by 135.
