The complete breakdown can now be found on the Shoreham Herald’s website: full results for Adur.


Tim Loughton (MP for Shoreham and East Worthing) and I were canvassing this afternoon for John Denman. We did a few roads in Ifield and I have to admit I was surprised by the reactions on the doorsteps.

In the River Mead and Strathmore Road area people were either very guarded or only mildly positive. There weren’t a large number of negative responses, but there should, by stereotypes, have been many more positive.

Having completed this area, we moved down (south-west) to the Fairway area. Here there were an alarming number of BNP supporters. Most people, though, said they wouldn’t vote.

I was also out, earlier this afternoon, in Lancing — thank you for your warm welcomes if you’re reading here!


What a beautiful day to go canvassing. I just wanted to share how nice it was today with you!


The following site gives a forum for the discussion of any local elections taking place in May this year.

Thanks to Dizzy for this link.


Rustington West had a by-election yesterday and the votes came in as follows:

Party 2006 By-election 2003 (AJD’s Figures)
Conservative 44% 53%
Liberal Democrats 33% 35%
UKIP 15% 7.7%
Labour 6% 4%

The reason for posting this is the results for UKIP. People don’t, I am sure, prefer UKIP in any sense except that they have a more reasonable position on the EU. When will my party start listening?

Update: Using Daily Propaganda’s figures, I’ve added a column for 2003’s results.


I have a new post up at the Cameron Leadership blog.


Just in case you’re interested…

Adur Letter


I have just been advised that there will be no candidate standing against me in the elections in May and that I will, from May 4th, be a District Councillor for the Buckingham Ward in Adur District Council.
