the UK has fewer parties actually in Parliament than most other European nations have, as we have 'first-past-the-post' single member district voting, not PR (proportional representation)

Farage wins (on his 8th try) Braverman holds on, Corbyn wins as an independent

shock Labour loss, an independent defeats Jonathan Ashworth, this was due to Muslims turning on Labour over Gaza

the higher the percentage of Muslims so far, the bigger the Labour drop off

Great. Especially glad Rishi is booted out. His father-in-law is an Indian millionaire known for advocating that people should work 70 hrs a week. The whole family is a group of insufferable pricks

Bristol Central: Shadow DCMS secretary Thangam Debbonaire loses to Greens

https://labourlist.org/2024/07/general-election-results-2024-3/

Labour’s Shadow Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport Thangam Debbonaire has lost her constituency race to the Green co-leader Carla Denyer.

The Green Party won just under 25,000 votes to beat Debbonaire into second place on just over 14,000 votes.

The Green Party is up by 30.6% compared to 2019 whilst Labour lost 25.9% of its vote.

Following boundary changes Debbonaire was running for the new seat of Bristol Central which included large chunks of her old seat of Bristol West.

Debbonaire had represented Bristol West since 2015, winning the seat from Lib Dem Stephen Williams.

In May after the Greens surged to become the largest group at Bristol council elections. Two years previously the city voted to abolish the post of the city’s Labour mayor, Marvin Rees.
