Hopefully the start of bigger and better things

[Samanfur]

I ran in 2018, as well, so this wasn't my first rodeo. But third time might be the charm, if the local party wants to give me the chance.

[Malcolm Armsteen]

I hope so.

[Samanfur]

That was my first time at district level, though.

Parish council results're in, and it's a Tory lockout, including the suspended candidate. Labour came second, and I was the highest polling of the Labour candidates. I still polled just under 400 votes behind the last Tory, though.

[Malcolm Armsteen]

That's great.

The tide will turn.

[Samanfur]

Thanks, Malc. Again, looking at the margins, I really don't know.

[Malcolm Armsteen]

It may not be in my lifetime, but da kidz seem to be getting on board with issues we espouse, if not the party. Generational change, depending on how we frame our social-democrat, progressive policies.

There is a hell of a lot of the electorate not voting, and some of it does vote at times.

Just to make this worse Shaun Bailey’s team thinks he might win, depressing won’t even cover it.

Think I’ll take the yougov poll now.

That... is a truly terrifying thought.

Just hoping it’s bullish rubbish for when he makes the second round but I have some concerns now.

Or he is just looking at the page and going look we’re only 2% behind currently

[Youngian]

London did elect someone more ridiculous than David Cameron as mayor. Now Bozo’s the PM they might do it again.
Mayor Bailey though, fucking A.

[mattomac]

Others now saying it was in relation to out performing his polling.....

In the meantime the first seat in the regional assembly is out, Tories hold but majority slashed from 14k to just over 2k by Labour, not the kind of result that would suggest a Bailey victory.

I think he might do ok in the first but be smashed in the run off.

Well done Greens . Tory majority 2,000. Green vote (constituency) 16,000. 13,000 Lib Dems too (though they'll go both Tory and Labour, so less fragrantly misguided)

I suppose they think Labour's winning anyway, might as well give Starmer a jolt.

[mattomac]

Just looking at West Central figures Khan is down 4K, Bailey is running 15k votes lower than Goldsmith.

Every chance looking at the tally of Greens that Khan would take that on second preference.

[Tubby Isaacs]

Bexley and Bromley is a Tory win but can't find the vote scores.

[Tubby Isaacs]

Wow. Are Greens and Lib Dems up?

[Tubby Isaacs]

Actually the West Central result is pretty good for the Tories, given Brexit has shitted on their support since 2016. Missed opportunity for Labour really.

[mattomac]

Lib Dem’s around 6k same as last and Greens up by 2k, Fox is polling 4K and Binface is outpolling Corbyn.

As in a hold yeah, not for overall Mayor though.

[mattomac]

Yeah not sure where they are appearing, BBC have put the scores on mayoral race after West Central.
