Yeah, and with that result at Brent and Harrow, the Conservatives may have actually lost a seat on the GLA. (Depends on how well they do on the list, but I'm thinking it's unlikely that they'll have the votes for a proportional seat.)

Also, UKIP finished behind the ridiculous far-right Christian Peoples Alliance in Brent and Harrow. LOL.

Enormous Conservative numbers in Bexley and Bromley (no surprise).

Con 105,162
Lab 29,925
LD 21,244

Pity Labour managed to pass the LDs, although it's pretty easy and obvious to chalk it up to the two-party battle for mayor.

After 2 areas... has UKIP simply evaporated into thin air?

They actually gained three seats, net, in local government across England last night. Don't ask me how or why.

Local elections are often about personalities and so on. I think one area where they do well in local elections is Dudley MBC, where they function as a sort of BNP-lite.

If "well" means one seat they just won this year, okay. I certainly agree with local personalities, but the fact that this round was last contested together with the Euro elections makes the gains very strange as a whole.

Labour hold Enfield and Haringey by a tiny margin yet again.

Where's that from?


TV Stream? is there an echo in here?

I'm not using a TV stream. That's just adding up the current results (from Bexley, Brent, Enfield, etc.)

The Galloway faction of Respect takes 14.28% in City/East, increasing its 2004 result.

The Muslim population goes up, so does the Respect vote. Disturbingly high BNP vote in City and East, too. I just hope no council ever ends up with both BNP and Respect councilors.

How will the Libdem second prefs go?

I'd say at least two-thirds for Livingstone.

The Bexley first and second numbers say differently (assuming the Green vote went mostly to Livingstone).

I was reading an article from The Guardian and it said that one shadow minister said that Johnson's victory as Mayor of London was like "the march on Rome in 1922". Who said that, as I am quite curious to find out whom.

I'd definitely believe it of someone like Ann Winterton, who used to be a shadow minister.
