I wonder if there is a story behind our result in Sunderland. It's really quite poor, with the Labour vote and share at around 2008 levels. Other than the sitting councillor being forced to resign after being done for benefit fraud? |

Other than the sitting councillor being forced to resign after being done for benefit fraud? I'd forgotten about that. Benefit fraud really gets people's backs up. The people it riles most are those in work but on low wages (and the in-work benefits that they do claim, they do so honestly). A shame for the new candidate though, who shouldn't have been tarnished with that. But that's what happens with candidates from all parties. |

But they still won, so have the chance to put it behind them.
Not that much evidence of the Tory poll improvement in these results, tbh.

Perhaps not but I didn't meet anyone in 2010 who admitted to watch the TV debates with Brown, Cameron and Clegg but those had a BIG effect!!!!! The media hype these things and too many people take their lead from it

Rather amusing name for a UKIP candidate: Claude-Francois. I am a bit confused about why I'm supposed to think that it's an amusing name. Because it's a bouble-barrel name? Because it's the name of a famous French singer (albeit that I've never heard of him before)? |

UKIP vote of 28 per cent in St Anne's (taking full account of the embarrassing situation for Labour) suggests that they are pretty solid for a European Parliament seat in North East.

Other than the sitting councillor being forced to resign after being done for benefit fraud? Happened to us in Sefton. The Labour councillor was also mayor and him and his wife received prison sentences. It was a marginal ward but we dropped like a stone from first to third in the by election. |

"Rather amusing name for a UKIP candidate: Claude-Francois. I think the amusing aspect is the irony that this is a very French name for a candidate for a party which prides itself on being very English and wary of all things foreign.  I found it amusing too. |

I think the amusing aspect is the irony that this is a very French name for a candidate for a party which prides itself on being very English and wary of all things foreign. What on Earth possesses you to imagine that the pro-European, internationalist UKIP is EITHER " wary of all things foreign" OR that it " prides itself on being" so? Do you really have so little understanding of the policy and philosophy of UKIP? |

I think the amusing aspect is the irony that this is a very French name for a candidate for a party which prides itself on being very English and wary of all things foreign. I found it amusing too. Don't forget that the party leader also has a French name and is married to a German. A recent opinion poll of Polish citizens living in the UK found that UKIP was polling at 10% amongst polls for the European elections in May. I don't think there's any irony in a UKIP candidate having a French name. Having said that I do remember seeing this post on the 'Friends of Poland in UKIP' Facebook page appealing for local election candidates in May and finding it a little surprising that it was written in two languages |

A large part of the Polish community in Ealing was there long before Poland joined the EU. Many of the families arrived when General Sikorski was still Prime Minister (in exile).

Indeed they were and I went to (secondary) school with a lot of their children - this is late 70s/early 80s. In a determined effort to make them bilingual they all had to go to Polish school on Saturday. |
