HeadingNorth Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 That's it then. Nine seats swung from Lib-Dems to Labour. Very bad night for the Lib-Dems. Less bad than they thought it was, though ... small comfort I'm sure, but both Labour and the Tories have, in the past, tried to make out that a rubbish result was a good one because "we thought it was going to be even worse." I'm sure the Lib-Dems will adopt the same tactic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DameClara Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Parish elections are being held alongside council elections, it may not swing the parish from Libdem but it may be interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

not wanted Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 (edited) Any news if Jillian Creasy has been re-elected? She has. By a couple of hundred votes. http://www.sheffield.gov.uk/your-city-council/elections/election-results/2011/central I've got to say as an old labour party activist who left the party in 97 the greens ran a text book local campaign in this years elections.

redrobbo Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Due to my ill health (see separate thread) I have, sadly, been unable to attend the count tonight. I am though pleased to discover, courtesy of Sheffield Forum, that I have retained my council seat - and I am delighted by the confidence that the electors in my ward have shown in me by voting me back in. I will though now be absent from politics during the coming months whilst I fight an even bigger battle, literally for my life. I hope to return to the political fray and to fully represent my constituents once I have completed the lengthy treatment for my illness. May I congratulate my fellow ward councillor, Julie Dore, on a stunning result for Labour in Sheffield. I will now look forward to Julie being elected leader of the council after this fantastic result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

not wanted Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 How has Mr Postman got on ? He is "the rising star" of the far right in this country and I'm sure he his elections results must match his video making and meeting organising skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalman Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Just makes me despair of this city really. No wonder it will never do any good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
