How does the number of candidates in Scotland compare with last time's? Up? Down?

...and confirmation that the attention of Respect has shifted elsewhere has come with the news that there will be no Respect candidate in Sparkbrook.

Joke party.
It's really more a pressure group on Labour (and a one man show, of course of course) than a real party.

The Lib Dem in the Pentland Hills Ward was beaten by a man dressed as a penguin in first preferences.
Video or it didn't happen.





Oh. You meant polled fewer votes than. Sad

Glesgie totals according to the BBC are
Labour 44 (+5)
SNP 27 (+7)
Greens 5 (0)
LD 1 (-5)
Con 1 (0)
o/i 1 (-7)

So that'd be 3 SNP, 2 Labour?

What's that Librul enclave like? (Apart from the presumable personal vote factor.)

Also, Labour polling divisions in the New Town? Wtf? Studenty Green vote is studenty.

I'll be starting with the Greens. They did very well in Leith Walk, which is coloured solid red
Neither of which is surprising. Smiley

"New Town", surely? The bit of it bitten off and included in the red is mostly the pubcrawling bit of Rose Street etc I suppose.

Three serious candidates would still be soluble if voters understand the situation and behave "logically" - ie not vote for any hopeless candidate. Four potentially serious candidates, and SV is up the creek with no paddle in sight.

Also, I assume this is the only true Spud Murphy standing, as the original Spud Murphy is dead.

Agreed, the SV system is ridiculous for a 15 candidate election. The Torbay mayoral election was similarly a farce. You just have to take a lucky guess as to who will be in the top 2!
You get two guesses; you need to be right with at least one of them.

Does anybody have a breakdown of the 25k wasted votes in that - how many actually  went to eliminated major candidates, how many were blanks?
