Some surprising results here:

  • Opposition at county now more varied, which sounds better to me!
  • So close for Jerry in Hedge End by just 17 votes! I bet that was recounted!
  • Bishopstoke & Fair Oak, and West End & Horton Heath are leading the way on demonstrating escape from the Eastleigh Lib Dem stranglehold is possible!

All in all, I’d say positive results, but what can be done to improve people’s awareness that local elections are not the same as national.

People seem very confused by this when voting, and people are voting LD in opposition to CON or LAB, not realising LD are approaching 30 years in power! :exploding_head:. (Aware CON have the majority at county!).

Still puzzled why Martin was missed off the Bishopstoke and Fair Oak results. His votes are in the Democracy Club database though.

My phone blew up with the comments from the HCC count. The EBC count is underway as we speak. I sense its going to blow up again lol

Why is Martin missing from the official EBC post, did you ask them to fix it?

(And @jtonline )

Got hold of Mr House, he has acknowledged that there was indeed an error, and will ask the Elections/website team to update the results of the Bishy count
