I'm so glad you boys of the Blue are nailing your colours to the mast.
Just saying.

Would have thought Ann Barnes would win Roger? but she is probably a Tory anyway

Roger you do not know that. If that was true why are the blues standing?

Again, very odd, in fact absurdly funny ideas of what political parties are about and how they work.
Some people will never believe the rather mundane truth Roger. They probably think Elvis is still alive living on mars....

If I heard properly counting starts at 9.00 so not very long afterwards.

Being counted in 13 places throughout Kent, including Dover Town Hall where the result will be announced, count this morning and I doubt it will take long!

Presumably it won't take long because there aren't many to count ?

Across the country some polling stations were not used, I wonder if any were in Kent.

[Let me say from the off, that I struggle to control the smallest sense of smugness, but I think I may succeed.]
Wiltshire has decided, no names as yet. Turnout was 15.8% With a rate of 'invalid' ballots of more than 3%. (People may well have gone to the trouble of turning out only to show their distaste for the whole process - who'd a thunk it?)
Greater Manchester had a reported turnout of 13.5% and Avon under 20%.

Well I went along and voted but I still do not know if I voted for the right person. I only ever got to see two leaflets form two candidates one the Conservative chap and the other from the Independent lady so how do people vote when those standing do little to show you what they stand for.

There must be few places around the country Harry that had more information available than here.
The high cost of the deposit would have left little for canvassing, but that this was Dave's big idea and neither he nor the Government did much to promote it as a free Democratic choice is where the real blame must rest.

BTW
"In Manchester, the Conservative candidate Matthew Sephton lost his deposit as he got only 754 votes, less than 5 per cent of the turnout, while the swing away from the Liberal Democrats was 16.8 per cent."
