Looks like there's been some massive vote rigging in Swindon Central, where according to the Adver update site, the turnout was a worrying 1820% of those eligible to vote

Yes where the newly elected councillor is one R Mugabe.

You're still in Lib Dem country by the way, in case you were worried. I know how you fret about these things

Yay Stan Pajak won in my ward. And I voted for him. But I've won the argument that it didn't matter if I voted or not.

Not many options in my ward. The Tory dude sent me one leaflet and he looked like a Ginger William Shatner. I got one poor home printer effort from labour, but they had no chance in eastcott. With no Green, I'm happy to live in the most sensible ward in Swindon.

Pretty predictable results all round. Relieved Stan held his seat in Eastcott and the nobjocky Peter Heaton Jones didn't win Western (although it was a bit close for comfort).

Still got Nick Martin tho  Sad

A bit surprised that the Tories won Parks ahead of Labour.

He's alright.

The Green Party candidate is a proper bell end, as is the independant.
