The lack of a Conservative in Oldham also speaks volumes.

We meant of course a 'Loony' four, which of course is 5 in anyone else's parlance.

It is a pity that OMRLP did not field 9 candidates in the Gwynedd ward in May , they would have had one councillor elected .

Ahhh well, my understanding of Loony politics, is that the Welsh Official Monster Raving Loony Party/Monster Cymraeg Swyddogol rhuo Blaid lloerig, have altogether different political tactics to their colleagues in Molesey East.

Rather than put up 9 candidates, they put up none in an attempt to draw attention to Loony issues in Gwynedd and to get 100% less votes than their English colleagues, by scoring no votes at all.

I think we can all agree that that strategy worked well for them in this part of Wales.

And after a rather long gap of at least 13 years, democracy returns to Barnwell as well.

[greatkingrat]

Anyone know the nominations for the Iver Heath vacancy? Unless I'm looking in the wrong place, South Bucks still haven't posted them 7 working days after the deadline.

[ToBeFair]

The Candidates for Iver Heath in South Buckinghamshire are:-

Iver Heath District Ward

Name of Candidate Home Address Description (if any) Name of Proposer Reason why no longer nominated*
CHAPMAN
Peter Jeffrey LIBERAL DEMOCRATS

PAMMENT
Adam UK INDEPENDENCE PARTY (UKIP)

SULLIVAN
Luisa Katherine CONSERVATIVES

[linders]

Very disappointing that there is no Conservative candidate in Failsworth, especially as it is a ward we have won in the recent past, even if it would be a tough fight now.

[Pimpernal]

I expect a good UKIP vote in Tunbridge Wells East...

Giving UKIP a free run at the right of centre voters doesn't seem the smartest move by the Conservatives.
