A leader is elected and 44% is a healthy percentage in any ones book, Labour won the last election with 25%. The average turnout yesterday was 32%. As I under it UKIP picked up 4 seats. In Hartlepool they now have two councillors which means than put motions down. Quite an achieve, it was only political complicity of would you believe Labour and the Conservatives that prevented UKIP from getting at least two more, one was missed by 2 votes. In my area, we stood in 11 wards and pushed the Lib-Dems into 4th place in 8 of them. As for the meeting no I wasn't outside having fag, I don't smoke. Whilst Piers's presentation was interesting it was also very negative. Trevor's presentation was fine and I heard it again a couple of weeks later. It could be argued that UKIP over post offices is being as devious as the other parties by pretending these referendums can stop closure.
