GENERAL ELECTION RESULT FOR AUGUST

General election

Election results for August 2013

The Conservatives have managed to extend their winning streak to 4 in the voteyourgoat election, possibly due to this slow summer season, creating little change. However, this was their most narrowest of victories to date with UKIP hot on their heels. This month also saw Labour and the Liberal democrats jump to 3rd and 4th respectively. Labour in particular had a good election receiving their highest percentage of the vote to date. August then has perhaps produced more questions than answers. Is it the case that we will begin to see Labour and the Lib Dems rise to further prominence as we may have expected from the beginning? Could it be that next month will see our first non-Tory victory? And perhaps most importantly, how has this change occurred in what we just called a slow summer season???

A list of the TORY & LIBDEM SYRIAN REBELS

The government's motion said the House of Commons "deplores" the use of chemical weapons by the Assad regime and "agrees that a strong humanitarian response is required from the international community and that this may, if necessary, require military action".

It said any such action would be "legal, proportionate and focused on saving lives by preventing and deterring further use of Syria's chemical weapons" - but the motion was defeated by 285 votes to 272.
Here is a list of the 39 MPs from the coalition parties who voted against it:
 
Conservatives
David Amess (Southend West)
Richard Bacon (Norfolk South)

Cobs, Baps, Barms, Buns or Rolls?

 I found this on my travels and although it has absolutely nothing to do with elections it does have a lot to do with a subject dear to my heart. The humble Cob, I do try wherever I land up to grow the use of the word cob. It is a hard and absolutely thankless task, but one I will always endeavour to do.

When requesting a chip cob it normally takes two to serve me as this is how the conversation goes.

I enter the chip shop and say "Chip cob please"
To be then asked "a chip what? cod and chips you mean?"
I reply "No! a chip COB!"
The person serving then goes "What?"
Then someone who is also behind the counter will act as interpreter and says "He means bread bun"
Which then normally gets greeted by "Well, why didn't he say that then?"

So in the season of Bank Holiday irrelevance.

What is it from where you come from?

And do you have any stories?

How much does a vote cost in Aberdeen?

There seems to be a trend for the main political parties of big spending, even if they are defending a safe seat.

A link to a previous blog post A price of a vote in South Shields.

The figures are out for Aberdeen Donside and reported here http://www.heraldscotland.com/politics/political-news/how-ukips-big-spend-backfired.21825354 hardly a unbiased article, but here is the facts and figures from it.

£19,000 spent by Ukip with 1128 votes costing  £16.77 each
£81,000 spent by The SNP for 9814 votes worked out at £8.21 each,
£36,000 spent by Labour for 7789 votes which cost £4.64 each.
The Liberal Democrats spent £14,291 securing 1940 votes for candidate Christine Jardine, the equivalent of £7.37 per vote
Conservative Ross Thomson polled 1791 after his party spent £9581, or £5.35 per vote.

AUGUST'S PARTY POLITICAL CYBER WARRIORS

Here is the 4th list of a political party's followers on Twitter and Facebook, obviously it is not an exact science due to the fact that you can follow more than one party. You may not even support the party but follow them to find out what they are up to. But I still thought it would be interesting to see the rise and fall in followers/likes for the parties.

YOU GOV POLLING FROM 12TH AUGUST

http://cdn.yougov.com/cumulus_uploads/document/t03vzaoe34/YG-Archive-Pol-Sun-results-120813.pdf

Now according to this poll they say that a voter from the 2010 General Election now votes as such.

Conservative 76% remain loyal, 5% now vote Labour, 1% Lib Dem, 15% UKIP
Labour 86% remain loyal, 4% now vote Conservative, 1% Lib Dem, 6% UKIP, 1% Green
Liberal Democrats 32% remain loyal, 36% now vote Labour, 12% Conservative, 12% UKIP, 3% Green.

Now obviously this is all subjective as we don't have the variables for the past UKIP, Green intentions between now and then or where the independent vote would go. But if we loosely work out on the equation above it gives the following result.

Conservatives start with 21,269 they keep 16,164 voters which is 76% of their 2010 vote they gain 4% of the Labour vote and 12% of the Lib Dem vote which is 509 & 1,639 which means a new vote total of 18,312.

Liberal Democrats start with 13,664 they keep 4,372 voters which is 32% of their 2010 vote, they gain 1% of the Conservative vote and 1% of the Labour vote, which is 212 & 127 which means a new vote total of 4,711.

Labour start with 12,729 they keep 10,947 voters which is 86% of their 2010 vote, they gain 36% of the Liberal Democrat vote and 5% of the Conservative vote, which is 4,919 & 1,063 which means a new vote total of 16,929.

UKIP start with 1,086 votes and gain 15% of the Conservative, vote 6% of the Labour vote & 12% of the Liberal Democrat vote. Which is 3,190, 764 & 1,639 votes respectively giving a new total of 6,679

GREENS start with 1,069 and gain 3% of the Liberal Democrat vote and 1% of the Labour vote. Which is 410 & 127 respectively giving a new votes total of 1,606.

So a notional 2015 General Election result could be

Conservative 18,312 - 37.8% down 4.8%
Labour 16,929 - 33.7% up 8.2%
UKIP 6,679 - 13.8% up 11.6%
Liberal Democrats 4,711 -  9.7% down 17.6%
Greens 1,606 - 3.3% up 1.2%
independents 168 - 0.3%

48,405 total which is some 1,500 votes less than the 2010 turnout, you have variables of 2% of Tories would now vote BNP in the you gov poll and also the don't knows.

Latest YOU GOV poll wipes out the Liberal Democrats.
