>>18% first time round?, thats not to be sniffed at.
Well done to your guvnor FoR give her our best wishes, have no doubt she will get more next time.<<
I am extremely proud of her, it is more than a little gutsy to stick your neck out like that but the way she has been talking she fully intends to have another go.
Given that the election was short notice ( I think the Tory guy died ) and many active members were on holiday, it was a good first run, there are alot of ideas in the pipeline for improving our local party machine and the membership is growing at about 14% per month.
Results were: Con 42%, Lab 34%, UKIP 18%, Lib 4%, BNP 2%. We think the Labour vote is especially soft. Turnout was just 28%.
