Even more Euro election data crunching
First, the B*P. They secured 15%+ in Barking & Dagenham, Stoke, Thurrock, Rotherham and Barnsley, and bottomed out at 1.31% in Gib. Once again our fellow citizens in those parts show thir robust good sense. Stirling was the weakest point on the mainland at 1.52%
Moving swiftly on, the Christian Party spoke to the wee frees and so forth in the Western Isles, winning a 9% share in those parts. Selby best stand by for some missionaries, as they polled 0.73% there.
The English Democrats made some headway in Doncaster (9.4%) and Dartford (9.4%), but are going nowhere fast in Kensington & Chelsea (0.5%). I had a look at their website the other day, and their published policies would fit on a fag packet, using normal handwriting. 183 words. I just tallied them. Go on, try to make me a liar.
Jury Team failed dismally in Gib (I'm warming ever more to the place) at 0.08%, with its 'breakthrough in South Tyneside - 1.61%. Gib didn't rate Libertas either - 0.04%. Hambleton in Y&H was more impressed ar 1.34%. While Ganley and co mean well, I for one am glad that they have stopped spamming me.
Gib also gave the ragbag coalition of far lefties trading under No2EU a bronx cheer at 0.17%. Coventry and Liverpool were keenest on collective farms and the like at 4.25% and 2.96% respectively.
Scargill's Socialist Labour Party will have realised that the revolution is a good deal further than a T-shirt away in East Dorset - 0.22%, with Knowsley a happier hunting ground at 4.48%.
United Kingdom First (no, I've never heard of them either) mustered 0.27% in West Berks, but 4.67% in South Cambridgeshire.
Elsewhere, the SPGB, for which I have a sneaking regard, having read 'The Monument', managed 0.45% in Haringey, 0.43% in Lewisham and 0.12% in Kingston and Kensington & Chelsea. They only stood in London. This is the party that sets such a premium on ideological purity that they have been known to tell voters only to vote for them if they agree with their entire manifesto. I am NOT making this up. Said book can be found for circa £20, and that is the best 20 quid you will ever spend on a book detailing the history of a far left groupuscule.
The Khmer Vert bottomed out at 3.13% in Gibraltar, with the people of the Rhonnda almost equally unimpressed at 3.38%. At the other end of the scale, they narrowly topped 20% in Islington, took 22.8% in Hackney, 24.9% in Norwich, 26.1% in Oxford and a bone-chilling 31.4% in Brighton. Hope all those Guardian readers / students etc enjoy year zero if it comes.
I *might* run some figures to discover the most left wing place in the UK later on.

bronx cheer
Haven't seen or heard that phrase in a very long time!
Entertainingly on these figures it's us in Gib who top the Not A Bunch Of Loons division.
Somehow that calms me.
BE - I'm doing my bit to rig up a few old words and phrases to the ventilator and see if I can coax a heartbeat out to them.
Geoff - Please take a bow on behalf of the level-headed citizens of the Rock.
Haw! Haw! Haw!
You've got to laugh, haven't you???
Algernon is much better thank youuuuuuuu.
Do you like lemons?
Indeed.
That would be your stoat, yes? Anyway, pleased to hear it.
Lemons - well, in the right place. They set off a G&T quite nicely.
