"Primrose By-Election Result
25 Feb 2010

Labour candidate Ken Stephenson has been elected to represent the Primrose ward on South Tyneside Council.

The ward's 6,307 electors went to the polls today (Thursday 25th February) in a by-election following the sudden death of Labour Councillor Barrie Scorer in December.

The results are as follows:

Ken Stephenson (Labour) 854
Pete Hodgkinson (British National Party) 566
Aaron Luke (Independent) 213
David Alan Rice (Independent) 174
Anthony James Lanaghan (Conservative) 124
Susan Heather Troupe (Liberal Democrat) 100

The turnout for this election was 32.25% and Labour win with a 288 majority"


Hope this is not an indication of things to come.

The BNP had twice as many votes than the Conservatives and LibDems combined. Maybe there is hope for the UK yet.

Just glad I'm in Australia. So many people in the UK just don't get it, financially the UK is ****ed. Well they'll get it as soon as the election is held because whoever wins will have to raise taxes and slash spending/costs, meaning large job losses in the public sector. :(

It's the election nobody can afford to win.
