Brighton Council Election Results

[soistes]

Patcham - all Tory. If the greens and labour weren't standing against each other in all these seats, it'd be easy to keep the Tories out.

Rottingdean is Conservative.... Biggest shock of the election

Mary Mears in again
my god she must be older than me

C13 - L7 - G6 so far I believe?

 

[Brovion]

Very disappointed to see my old schoolfriend Chris Taylor didn't get elected (for Labour) in Hanover and Elm Grove. (Some of you may know him as he used to be the landlord of the Greys in Southover Street). He would have been a brilliant councillor.

2 out of 3 gone labour in Preston park. Good result

 

[Eeyore]

Leo Littman holds on for the Greens in Preston Park, but Labour take the other two.

LAB win 2 seats in Preston Park , 3rd seat goes to GREEN

Got a feeling there could be some bad news coming for the Greens in Hollingdean...

 

[Eeyore]

Labour take Hollingdean from the Greens.

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

GREENS mashed in Hollingdean and Stanmer LAB win 3 seats

 

[Chicken Run]

Never thought I would be pleased with a Labour clean sweep. Good to see the dwindling number of a Green Councillors.

Seems as if the Greens are hanging on in the town centre hippy zones, but losing seats they won last time to Labour in the more suburban seats. Goldsmid will be interesting.

It all mimics the national vote, Greens being pushed back into the centre of the town and the suburbs reverting back to Blue and Red.

No, some very sensible suburbs have never been Green or close to being Green, and continued this on Thursday with the Greens being nowhere other than towards the bottom of the results.

They didn't win any seats last time in the more enlightened suburbs., and haven't again.

No it's the labour suburban seats that went green last time that seem to be reverting somewhat. The hardcore Tory bungalow lands have remained solid blue throughout.

As I said, it's the ones that went from labour to green that are now reverting. UKip is the bigger threat in the tory suburbs
