European Elections 2009 - Britain!

[afleitch]

Vote based on national, UK wide list...

CON 21
UKIP 13
LAB 12
LIB 10
GRN 6
BNP 4
SNP 1
EDEM 1
CHR 1

Of course that would be without a threshold.

For the record, I would rank the Christian Fundies lower than the BNP

D'you mean GB, or would the Northern Irish be out as sure as Plaid?

I did UK as a whole. Just for nonsense sake. No system would keep the entire UK together

[Harry Hayfield]

How did the BNP poll in Burnley? Was that their best council area in the NW?

BNP in Burnley 14.63% (Lib Dem GAIN from Lab)

Best in NW: Burnley

YES, UKIP finished second!  The one good result from this election.

How about 4 constituencies - England, Scotland, Wales, and NI? Scotland and Wales would be the same obviously, how about England as a whole?

But aren't you then 3 seats short?

You've missed off my  home patch of Preston - which across the whole borough went Tory, but I was at the counting of the votes on Friday morning where they finished third among those wards in the Preston constituency.

For all your map making needs - results by local authority

Among other things, not only was South Lakeland won by the LDs, it was their strongest result in the country! But Tim Farron will lose his seat, of course.... Silly swing calculators.

Eastleigh also one of the LDs' strongest results nationwide (although the Conservatives were narrowly ahead). Another seat the LDs probably won't lose, although the trouser press non-scandal made it less than a true certainty.

Also, best BNP result was predictably Barking and Dagenham (19.4%), although fortunately they were well short of Labour, not anywhere near where they'd need to be to win Barking at a GE. They came much closer to winning overall in Stoke-on-Trent, although they finished a narrow fourth there with 17.6% (behind the Conservatives on 17.7%, Labour on 20.5% and the victorious UKIP on 22.0%).

Greens won Brighton & Hove (31.4%), Oxford (26.1%) and Norwich (24.9%).

An indication of the problem of using Euros to predict other results: Conseravtives won Bristol City while the LDs won overall control of the council.

Labour beaten by Mebyon Kernow.

Out of idle curiosity, about what percentage of Cornwall would vote in favor of devolution if given the chance? What about outright independence?

Ahh yes I found that yesterday. I've been making detailed percentage maps in order of how parties did. Tory map done (see other thread).

Devolution could potentially pass, but it would perform much better than Mebyon Kernow. IIRC, all 5 Cornwall MPs support a devolved Parliament, and one of them, Andrew George (LibDem-St Ives) is quite vocal about it.

Cornish independence, sadly, is supported by roughly the same amount (maybe even less) that support Breton independence. Aka, 1-3%.

I am gradually working my way through the district returns (thanks to me only being one person and not a media operation), but I have noticed one thing that I would like some comments on

East Midlands: 37% turnout
Eastern: 38% turnout
North East: 30% turnout
North West: 32% turnout
Scotland: 29% turnout
South East: 37% turnout
South West: 39% turnout
Wales: 31% turnout
Yorkshire: 33% turnout

The places with the highest turnout saw the Greens outpoll the BNP, the places with the lowest turnout saw the BNP outpoll the Greens. Is there a connection between turnout and Green vs BNP performance in general elections as well?
