We now have 4 weeks until the election on May 6th. The confirmed candidates for the York Central Constituency are
Hugh Bayley MP (Labour)
Susan Wade-Weeks (Conservative)
Christian Vassie (Liberal Democrats)
Andy Chase (Green)
Paul Abbott (UKIP)
Eddy Vee (Monster Raving Loony)
Jeff Kelly (BNP)
There has been a boundary change since the last election. The results from 2005 were
Labour 46.9%
Conservative 24.4%
Liberal Democrat 21.8%
Green Party 4.5%
UKIP 1.8%
The BNP and the Monster Raving Loony's did not put up candidates for the seat in 2005. There were 3 other candidates in that election but none of them got more than 0.5% of the vote.
The BBC have done a projection of what the 2005 vote would have looked like with the new boundaries. This gives
Labour 48.8%
Conservative 22.9%
Liberal Democrat 20.1%
Other 8.2%
Which ever set of results you look at the Conservatives and the Lib Dems are going to have to do something fairly dramatic to unseat Hugh Bayley who has, after all, been MP for York for 18 years.

Hello,
ReplyDeleteSusan Wade-Weeks' name links to Hugh Bayley's page. I'm not sure if this is a mistake or a subtle political comment ;)
Thanks for posting all of this information, by the way. I was also struggling to find information on our candidates until I came across your blog.
Oops. Now fixed to link to the correct page.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you have found the information useful.
