Election 2007 coverage?

I was going to register to vote, but there's only one candidate in my area so they'll be elected unopposed anyway

Right on, a strong passonate conservative supporter here, I hope you win and that we take out as many if not more Labour councilers than last time.

its petty you have no chance in Scotland!" oh well

It will be fun to watch

also this is of some use:

n England 32.8 million people will be able to vote - with seats being contested in 312 local authorities. In some councils one third of seats will be up for election, in others, the whole council will be elected. There are also mayoral elections in Bedford, Mansfield and Middlesbrough. It is the biggest election in the local cycle in England, with about 10,500 council seats are up for grabs. This is because councils which are electing all their members have coincided with those electing one-third of councillors. This year half of the seats are in just three regions - eastern, south and south-west""

which list all seat up for grabs

Thanks very much for that!

It's going to be a very interesting election. I think we're fielding a candidate for nearly every seat where I am, unlike Labour or the Lib Dems who seem to be struggling.

Our main foe, is, oddly, the Green Party.

I more interest in the BNP!

to see if there will grow there numbers?

that can;t be good!

Wasn't even aware there was local elections on, although Ilford South (LB Redbridge) did have a by election as one of the local councillors died late last year.

London Boroughs for some reason always seem to have their local elections at different times to everywhere else.

Also, I don't normally ask this question but wouldn't this thread be best in the Newsroom thread???
