Croxteth - Liverpool
This is and always has been a Labour stronghold so getting any knid of a good result here was always going to be difficult. Liverpool has had a tendency in the past when the Tories are in power to swing even further to the left, and this was shown to be the case by the Socialist Labour Party picking up more votes than the BNP for one of the few times in their existence. Those to the right of the mainstream not only had a BNP candidate but also candidates from UKIP and the English Democrats, who were both soundly beaten, even the UKIP candidate who changed his middle names to "Stop mass-immigration"!
No surprises here then with Labour walking off with the two available seats.
Martin CUMMINS (The Labour Party Candidate) 1,447
Stephanie TILL (The Labour Party Candidate) 1,424
Mark Anthony COUGHLIN (Liberal Democrat) 611
Michael John MARNER (Liberal Democrat) 479
Kai ANDERSEN (Socialist Labour Party) 135
Peter TIERNEY (British National Party) 117
Barbara BRYAN (Socialist Labour Party) 70
Eleanor Edith PONTIN (Green Party) 63
Tony Stop-Mass-Immigration HAMMOND (UK Independence Party) 50
Paul Duane RIMMER (English Democrats "Putting England First") 35
Steven McELLENBOROUGH (English Democrats "Putting England First") 33
Norman COPPELL (Conservative Party) 31
Brenda COPPELL (Conservative Party) 29
Michael John LANE (UK Independence Party) 19
Lab - 63.2%
LD - 24.0%
SLP - 4.5%
BNP - 2.6% (One candidate)
UKIP - 1.5%
ED - 1.5%
Green - 1.4% (One candidate)
C - 1.3%
Even though the Michael Lane only managed to secure 19 votes in this election, a colleague, Boby Anwar who ws standing in Hyndburn, Baxendale only managed to obtain 17 votes (1.4%), thus making him the worst UKIP candidate of the evening.
On another note the National Front stood a candidate in Wednesbury North and picked up 3.6% of the vote beating both the Lib Dem and the Green candidate. However this is way down on the 12.1% when previously contested by the BNP.
