The results:
Lynda Pearson (Labour) – 693

Excellent!
Now let’s get Michael Payne elected in the GE and clear Gedling of the one-rule-for-you-suckers-one-rule-for-us party.
Great result Lynda. Hard work starts now. I’m sure you are up to the mark & will put people first. Look after the vulnerable & protect our rights. Many congratulations
The turnout for the by-election was 36% ==> So, none of the above scored 64% of the vote. And it wasn’t because I couldn’t be bothered, just that they are all useless.
They are all useless? What leads you to that conclusion? Surely voting for whoever you feel is the least useless or least harmful would be prudent?
