No Greens to vote for in my ward, I would've stood for them - although I'm sure I thought that last time and forgot to do anything about it, like join them..
[cite]Posted By: Curb_It[/cite]But I think what NLA is trying to say if if there was only one green person they would have gotten 2757 votes. which is a good result.
No they wouldn't have.
1 person can vote for all 3 Green candidates can't they?
So if there was only the 1 candidate it doesn't mean their votes would necessarily have tripled as you can't vote for the same person 3 times.
but if the voters have a bit of a conscience and are going to vote labour anyway with 2 of their votes,would it make any sense to have the 3rd vote for just the one green candidate rather than diluting their vote amongst the 3?
and very well done darryl,just in case anyone reads this and tries to find a negative.
not sure if i could write vote anymore in that.thankfully i don't take myself too seriously
Awww, thanks all - only just seen this. I actually got heckled by the leader of the council when the result was read out, so it's good to know an impact was made :-)
Proud to have got the vote I did, but gutted that a complacent and arrogant local Labour party got more votes on a night when they should have got a deserved and thorough kicking, mainly because of the general election being held on the same day. Hey-ho - you live and learn. Not sure I'd do it again, but it was certainly an experience.
Now, in case Mr Cameron or Mr Clegg want a hand in the next few days, I'm free and waiting by my phone...

was that the leader that jumped from peninsular to glyndon ward and managed to get the least votes out of the 3 labour candidates?

Thrashed the other green and one of the Lib Dems
What was your hoping / expecting Inspector ?
Out of 20 Green Party candidates standing at the local elections in Greenwich, the Inspector polled the most votes out of all of them, 1066.
The modern day Kevin Fox !
All that blogging has made the Inspector a popular person ... and rightly so ... he understands the area
FACT
Keep fighting the fight and get that riverside walk open sharpish!
unluck to all the losers
