English local elections 2011

[Filuwaúrdjan]

So that one red-blue ward has three seats?

Yeah. Oddly enough although a Tory incumbent did run there, he wasn't the Tory candidate to get elected. Really surprised that they didn't get anyone elected in Hanford & Trentham (big grey ward, far south west).

Liverpool's 2010 result
And their 2008 result (a MASSIVE contrast)

I haven't got any pretty maps to offer, but I did work out - in the understandable absense of any figures online - what the North East region's collective vote was and and how it differed to '07's collective vote - ie swings.

I've also worked out the swings for each of the individual councils. If anyone's interested I'll post them (or if anyone knows if someone's already done this - and where).

Two wards in Newcastle will vote in June due to candidate deaths.

Unfamiliar acronyms/awkward attempts to fit party names into three letters:
Lib* = Liberal Party
BFP = Britain First Party
EFP = England First Party
NFP = Newcastle First Party
NNP = New Nationalist Party
Prg = South Tyneside Progressives
N-F = National Front

The rest is standard fare - those in brackets didn't stand this time round.

West Yorkshire. Obviously a lot going on there, but I direct the eye of the casual reader to the far west of the map. Those semi-rural Pennine wards (from Calder - the red no. 2 - south) are usually yellow. In most of them they came third this time; there was a massive leaking of votes to Labour, which often let in Tory candidates. The key point being that that area has about as unbroken a Liberal tradition as they come.

The Socialist Republic of South Yorkshire:



Interesting that the Independents in Barnsley didn't really hold up much better than in 2010; two made it, rest out.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Forest of Dean:



The stripes don't match up, but that would be boring and thus very un-Forest-like. Obviously only part of the Forest of Dean District is actually in the Forest, no matter how defined; the rest is more typical of rural Gloucestershire.



Anyways, there are actually three wards in the Coleford area (town split between a blue/grey half and a red/grey/red half) as Berry Hill (which is not part of Coleford at all) gets a ward to itself. It's the little red blob on top.

And not a single Independent or minor party candidate (well, unless you count the Lib Dems or the Tories, which wouldn't be entirely unreasonable in South Yorks) won in Doncaster.

Winning party by ward for all of the councils in the former West Midlands Metropolitan County. Basically, Labour did well everywhere except for Solihull, the Tories did badly everywhere except for Solihull and the LibDems did extremely (shockingly?) badly everywhere (including Solihull). Of course there's a lot of variation within that general pattern.

Birmingham

Yay, finally got one of these done. Anyways, a couple of points for those that don't know Brum that well:

1. Local elections in Brum can be very strange because you have this odd combination of massive swings linked (usually) to whatever is going on nationally and the continued importance of candidates and various local factors. There's this idea that the latter is only true of the heavily Asian wards, but that's bollocks (look at Oscott over the past... er... thirty years).

2. My, my, but doesn't the rather close relationship between the Tories and the LibDems in the city show up so clearly on maps of local elections?

[minionofmidas]

Fit like a jigsaw.

What's the one tory seat in Sandwell?

[YL]

What's the one tory seat in Sandwell?

Charlemont with Grove Vale, which was quite close (Tory majority 112).

What's the story behind the Green gains in Solihull?  I know one of those wards (Chelmsley Wood) has voted BNP in the past; is it the only place to have voted both Green and BNP?

[Leftbehind]

Hmm, interesting. When you consider that both parties are often targeting the same type of disaffected Labour voter, it becomes easier to understand.
