Scratch

Here you will find older scratches, musings and other detritus that once were located on the front pages, but have now faded.

Filed away here to collect dust and cobwwwebs in perpetuity, links may break, facts may change and data may corrupt.

On occasion I may come down here to tidy, but for the most, I prefer to leave the past where it lies.

 

Election

So the counts are in and Labour roll on for a historic third term...

In Ealing Acton, the results were as follows:

Name		Votes 	%    +/-%
A.Slaughter(Lab)	16,579	41.8 -12.3 
J.Gough(Con)	11,059	27.9 +2.8 
G.Malcolm(Lib)	9,986	25.2 +8.6 
G.Burgess(Green)	1,999	5.0  +5.0

Now given I didn't even see a single canvasser, only received direct mail from Labour, received flyers from the Conservatives and LibDems and naff all from the Green party (I didn't even no they had a candidate till I looked at the polling card), is it any suprise the votes turned out like they did. Yes demographics probably made more of a difference, and I know it wasn't a marginal, but even so.

And whilst it wasn't the victory the local Lab Candidiate's name would suggest, at least turnout was up.
