1.Conservative Party 835535 34.05%
2.The Labour Party 665443 27.12%
3.Liberal Democrats 275272 11.22%
4.Green Party 203465 8.29%
5.British National Party 130714 5.33%
6.The Christian Choice 70294 2.86%

Disastrous result for both UKIP and the ED's to get beaten by both The Christian Choice and Abolish the Congestion Charge party's.......

Talk is cheap peeps and actions speak louder than words...........

Where are these numbers from? They don't correlate with the BBC number at all, unless my maths is very wrong.

Unfortunately it is a bad result for all the smaller parties and that includes the B8P...we might have an excuse given the **** up with the Mattravesty of Mr o Connor...but the results suggest we all need to get a lot smarter and more effective.

It is incredible how badly the smaller parties did. I think the media making it into a "two horse race" probably killed off most of em.

You would think 1 in 10 people would be racist enough to vote BNP. Maybe half of them just don't like the leadership.

I think your first statement is the reason for this, people dont understand the system and are pulled in by thinking its only LAbour or Conservative so their voters have come out on mass to keep the other out or get their own in.

Independent UKIP

Obviously not brilliant news in my view and not honestly for you either but you are right that people are quiet about it. Your activists were expecting to do far better than that. Scraping just over 5% considering how close to 5% the BNP were in 2004 and consdering the drop in the vote share of the party you are utterly obsessed in destroying for the purpose of furthering your cause, this result is very disappointing for yourselves. One assembly member was a shoe-in, the only question was how many seats you would win. The answer was 1 the expectations were 2 or 3.

However Barnbrook is now on the toothless body and and will I'm sure try to make some hay and UKIP have won nowt so there is no getting away from that fact, congrats.

I wonder who'll be sitting next to Barnbrook? One London sat next to the Greens, I doubt the Greens will sit next to Barnbrook. It wouldn't surprise me at all if one member is always purposely absent so that there can be be a rotational assurance that noone has to sit next to Barnbrook. That is just speculation on my part BTW.

Anthony - your maths, of course, is not wrong.

I think the figures given by Euroscep in his last posting to this thread refer to the results of the proportional ('top-up'/London-wide) list of the London Assembly Election of 1.5.2008 - where your own list of results, of course, refers to the London Assembly constituency results of 1.5.2008.

We had four votes in the London Mayoral and Assembly elections held earlier this week:

1. London Mayor First Preference
2. London Mayor Second Preference
3. London Assembly constituency ('First-Past-The-Post' voting)
4. London Assembly London-wide proportional 'top-up' list (where electors vote for a party and not for a candidate).

I think Euroscep was referring to number four above.

We would of like more yes, but the media hyped up the campaign for the main parties which squeezed the vote for all minor parties. The higher turnout also got us, but we were aiming for 1 seats anything else was a bonus.

Don't you flipping well know that the BNP got enough votes to get two people elected?! The establishment didn't have the courage to remove sufficient ballot slips so the BNP wouldn't win because there would be outrage when the BNP found the ballot boxes tampered with. This could create a major headache for the establishment - like holding the election again. The establishment therefore decided to remove just enough ballot slips so that the BNP would scrape in one member which would make the BNP celebrate and try to forget about the tampering.

If anybody doesn't believe the BNP votes were covertly counted just as the ballot slips were pushed into the boxes, then they don't realise the corruption of this government.

The Greens told me they won't even get in the same room as Barnbrook and made a reference to him including the term nuclear waste.

I disagree with you. Admittedly in the Mayoral election the minor parties were well down on 2004, as well as in the first past the post constituency contests, however in the top up list where people can be "freer" in their choice, 26% of people voted for the non-Lib/Lab/Tory consensus. I find that encouraging.

The BNP were of course hoping for two seats, but the anti-BNP forces, which are considerable, worked hard to mobilise the ethnic votes with the sole aim of stopping the party gaining any representation. Despite everything they threw at us they failed. The BNP have made a big advance against all the odds, and nationwide ended up with ten gains.

Richard Barnbrook is a very determined and dedicated man, you can rest assured he will do his best to upset the rest of the time servers at City Hall there mainly to drink from the trough.
