Does your local area's election results represent your own views?
 
For the most local result possible, go on wikipedia and find the most recent local election result. Some pages show individual ward results.

Most recent result for my area:
Quote:

Conservative - 42%
UKIP - 31%
Labour - 22%

Conservative hold.
Think it's fair to say that my views are not common where I live :laugh:

Everyone here hates conservatives :laugh:

I think Labour got our seat? idk :shrug:

Where my home was in Worcestershire it is all Conservative,so now it doesn't reflect my views although as Councillors the Conservatives do a great job there.
Where I actually live now since going to and working since finishing Uni, it is Labour in the main so it's a good place to be for me at this time in that case.

Until I was 18 however,I leaned strongly to the Conservatives until David Cameron allowed the really nastier elements to take over the party.

armand.kay 20-09-2015 06:52 PM

Yeah they voted labour.

Daniel-X 20-09-2015 06:54 PM

1. Labour
2. UKIP
3. Conservative

Where I live. Labour holding the seat

DemolitionRed 20-09-2015 07:54 PM

Labour 43.1%
Lib Dems 34.3%
Conservative 11.8%

Labour gained from Lib Dems.

It's a strong Conservative seat which makes sense because it's pretty rural and the Tories remain the party of the countryside. I'm not particularly keen on our MP though because he's a bit of an old school Tory, landed gentry type who doesn't have that much connection with the local area

lewis111 20-09-2015 10:05 PM

SNP probably won so I'm fine with that, idk if they represent my views though cause independence nd stuff

MB. 20-09-2015 10:07 PM

Conservative - 49.5%
Labour - 31.9%
UKIP - 11%

Conservatives hold

reece(: 20-09-2015 11:27 PM

UKIP - 18.7%
Cons - 12.9%

smudgie 21-09-2015 12:20 AM

Yes.
Conservatives won with 46% of the vote as against winning with 38% last time around.

It was landslide SNP so at the time yes, as of now I'm not so sure. The SNP have been a bit of a limp dick so far.

Also, for the referendum, my county voted "no" which is something I'll never understand, however it was exceptionally close (52% to 48%) and I strongly suspect that a fair few regretted voting "no" when they realised that the "more powers for Scotland" carrot was actually made of paper and spit.

As UKIP were the only party advocating exiting the corrupt, sinister, money-draining EU and returning power to the UK, and as they were the only party for tightening our ludicrous 'Open Border' policy, my vote went to them.

Me too!Although it seems pointless me voting for them as Labour are unbeatable in my area.
