Carl Austin @ozzyaustin Ancoats & Clayton By-Election Labour 1239 UKIp 166 Green 89 Conservative 82 Pirate 79 BNP 58 Lib Dem 44 Turnout 13.5% That's a pretty good pirate vote by their standards, only three behind the Tories. Have they done that "well" anywhere else. Loz Kaye won 5.2% in Bradford ward in 2012, which is the Pirates' best result to date as far as I'm aware. www.englishelections.org.uk/england/l12/manchester.php#bradford |

Thanks, Kris. So the same candidate in a different authority! |

With South Selby and Tweeddale West both counting tomorrow, I think that's it for the night (but we don't have numbers for Brewood and Coven).

No, Bradford is a ward in Manchester (next door to Ancoats & Clayton, as it happens)

Still no figures for Govan, but apparently it went through 13 rounds of counting.  |

The Lib Dems won the old Beswick and Clayton ward in 1994-1996. Now they are getting 44 votes!

Bradford. I need to turn in , it's getting too late to absorb important details.  So it's a one person pirate ship. |

Bradford. I need to turn in , it's getting too late to absorb important details. So it's a one person pirate ship. No, they do have little pockets of candidates here and there. In size terms, they are probably comparable to the Liberal Party. They had candidates in two regions for the Scottish Parliament elections in 2011. |

Yes Mark Clayton won in 1996 and held it in 2000 and presumably kept a personal vote in the new ward 2004.
Kathleen Ollerenshaw, Conservative councillor for Rusholme 1956-1980 has just celebrated her 101st birthday.

Did the candidate live in the ward? How do you redistribute a single vote, if the candidate does live in the ward, without breaching the secrecy of the ballot? Is the possibility that they hypothetically didn't vote for themselves, but someone else did, sufficient, or is disclosing their second preference 'no biggie'? |
