At the risk of further accusations of anti Lib Dem bias (as soon as Labour do anything this hilarious, I swear I'll call them on it), here's an amusing infographic Manor Castle Greens grabbed from the Broomhill page of the LD website before the election...
Here's the actual result from last May's election:
**Candidate** | **Party** | **Votes** | **Percentage** |
Stuat Wattam | Labour | **1741** | 34.6 |
Bernard Little | Green | **1315** | 26.1 |
Michael Ginn | Conservative | 505 | 10.0 |
Alan Whitehouse | Lib Dems | **1371** | 27.2 |
Sullivan Pat | UKIP | 104 | 2.1 |
**Total** | 5036 | 100 |
Turnout: 37.8%
So that massive gap equals 1.1% of the vote. A little dishonest.
...and here's this year's result...
**Candidate** | **Party** | **Votes** | **Percentage** |
Jayne Dunn | Labour | **1303** | 37.04 |
James Little | Green | **1102** | 31.32 |
Timothy Moffatt | Conservative | 197 | 5.6 |
Paul Scriven | Lib Dems | **809** | 22.3 |
Sullivan Pat | UKIP | 107 | 3.04 |
**Total** | 3518 | 100 |
Turnout: 26.61%
