Why?s it so Hard to Get Electricity in a New Home? Mon Aug 05, 2024 07:00 | Ben Pile
When Ben Pile moved into a new house he got a nasty surprise. It had a prepayment meter that was about to run out of credit. Fixing this proved to be absurdly hard, which, presumably, is just what the green lobby wants.

international | politics / elections | news report

by SP Member - Socialist Party/CWI

Report this post to the editors

The Scoialist Party of England and Wales stood 19 candidates in the local elections in England on May 4th. The results are as follows:

The Socialist Party won an extra seat (Rob Windsor) in Coventry (now 3) with 40% vote in St. Michaels ward. Over the rest of Coventry the SP polled between 8% -16%. SP third largest party on Coventry Council ahead of Libs.

Outgoing SP Councillor Paul Sutton lost his seat in Stoke, where the BNP took the seat in a three way fight between BNP, Labour and SP.

SP retained its two seats in Lewisham (Ian Page and Chris Flood) and narrowly missed a third by a handful of votes.

SP member Dr. June Grunsell romped home in Huddersfield with 35% against 20% for both Libs and Lab. The SP stood as part of the Save Huddersfield NHS Campaign.

In other areas the SP generally polled between 6%- 10%.

Given the difficulties presented by the first past the post system in the UK, with the exception of Stoke, all in all a very satisfactory result for a small party like the Socialist Party.
