Brighton Council Election Results

[Weststander]

At the 2011 local elections in the city, the three main parties had the following shares of the vote:
Con 28.8%
Green 32.8%
Lab. 31.7%

For the three parliamentary seats on Thursday, their combined votes were:
Con 34.0%
Green 19.5%
Lab 36.0%

Interesting to see if voters blindly followed those same party lines in voting for their councillors this week. If they did, the Greens will suffer heavy losses, although the number of seats will also be determined by the PR system used.

I'm not defending the argus here but they tweeted the result at 3.18 you posted at 3.19, bit quicker with the fingers on the next one

If you want to beat them both you can watch it live on the Council webcam

I think I was first in Twitter for that one. NSC is always first.

Mind you, I am watching it live....

I know they are Tory's but the two Tory women for Hove Park really looked Tory

Brunswick and Adelaide up next.... I think the Greens may just hold on. This one is pivotal. No eating of hats promised here.

The UKIP supporters (segregated in the corner ?) were only allowed in if they agreed to wear a strait jacket

Going down the list is this the order they will be declared

That's a friends and family vote

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.
