Returning officers really ought to repeat the figures if they're being drowned out by cheering.

The council now clears it up: (but misspells the name) Too late now David! I have already ruined a pair of trousers. Congratulations we have facilitated your victory. It is not working right is it? This is splitting the right not the Labour vote. |

7.12% in University and Scotforth South, Lancaster. Serious people students. More votes for young people. They take a real interest. |

Are you implying students shouldn't vote in local elections, in a ward where 80%+ of the population is students? In any case, Labour HOLD there. |

I recall a friend of mine when I was at Lancaster saying that he didn't vote in local elections there because he didn't feel they were relevant to him - but given the importance of the University to the city, I didn't agree - the University provides a great deal of employment and economic benefit and a campus university needs to be seen as part of an area not just a bubble within it . Though I don;t think creating essentially a university ward is a good idea - we always used to vote within marginal Scotfoth East |

There is enough students living in campus to almost make a 3-seater by themselves. |

That doesn't surprise me given its expansion, but actually I think that two blended wards may be a better solution. |
