Sheffield local elections - May 2016

[High Greener]

Hardly surprising given that in 2007 he was a Socialist: Socialist Party and that in 2015 he was a Green: Green Party.

 

I was a labour voter 22 years, now UKIP.

I got a copy of his leaflet. There were no politics in it. It just denounced the council for doing this, that and the other. It said independents were better because they listened to people and weren't bound by a whip. But the fact that the more people you listen to the more points of view you get wasn't pointed out. Neither were any of his views on anything. Nor was the fact that a council of independents wouldn't get much done. It was just vote for me and see what happens.

Interesting that:

 

Julie Dore got 1962 votes (less than she did last year);

Terry Fox: 1523;

Jack Scott: 1497.

 

And the Lib Dems thrashed them:

 

Paul Scriven: 3164;

Roger Davison: 3,439;

Shaffaq Mohammed: 2787;

Andy Nash: 2300;

Colin Ross: 3875;

Joe Otten: 3547;

Andrew Sangar: 3112;

Cliff Woodcraft: 3063;

 

I trust the Labour comms department will ensure the public are aware of the truth of the situation. Despite another Labour run council, the majority of Sheffield did NOT vote Labour!

Labour has LOST two seats to Lib Dems in Greenhill and Beauchief over their incompetent handling of the Amey contract. And perhaps basic maths is not your forte, but generally 3000 votes is viewed as a higher number than 1500.

Depressing thing is majority of people simply did not vote

Maybe these forums don't have much influence.

 

I don't think they do have much influence. An example of this, on General

Dicussions there is a poll for members asking how you would vote in the

Euro Referendum 336 out of a membership of over 187.000 have bothered

to vote

 

When it comes to voting the huge amount of elgible voters in this country, have a couldn't care less attitude and do not use their vote.

 

Should voting be made compulsory ? As it is in Australia with a fine

if you do not vote.This may focus a few minds

But these were in different wards. So, I can't see your point.

 

You seem to be confused about how elections work. Maybe you should do a bit of reading before posting any more nonsense.

You do realise the lib dems you have listed didn't stand against the labour councillors you also listed don't you ?
