@colwell_george @PhilRodgers Graph with by-election for extra historical drama!
Greens are on our way to winning in all varieties of seats!

[Matthew Howard CEng @Engineer_Cllr]

@PhilRodgers For the interested 😊

[Matthew Howard CEng @Engineer_Cllr]

So happy to see some massive green gains across Cambridge 💚

33% of the popular vote in the city
34% of the popular vote on city MP boundary 👀

Special thoughts go to Miranda Fyfe and Lee Dension, who were NINE, yes (9), votes away from first Green win in SCambs. Next time.

[Green Party: Cambridge & South Cambs @CambridgeGreens]

@sheridanvk Congrats Cllr Kates ✊

[Matthew Howard CEng @Engineer_Cllr]

@MapsHand2483 This is incredible!! Comparably small extra Cambridge bonus sketch? 😊

[Matthew Howard CEng @Engineer_Cllr]

@colwell_george @PhilRodgers Raises a similar point as on other graphs though that it would be good to show by-elections too!

[Matthew Howard CEng @Engineer_Cllr]

@colwell_george @PhilRodgers The last by-election in King's Hedges was triggered in 2023 due to the resignation the labour councillor elected on 4th May 2023 - so that seat would be due for election in 2027 (if there were still city council elections). Delowar Hossain [con] was elected in that by-election.

[Matthew Howard CEng @Engineer_Cllr]

@colwell_george @PhilRodgers It's a hold as the seat which was up for election was the one elected in 2022.

[Matthew Howard CEng @Engineer_Cllr]

@PhilRodgers Thanks Phil :-)
2025 for East and West Chesterton in fairness for Lib Dems could show the city by-elections which did happen on the same day as county vote..

[Matthew Howard CEng @Engineer_Cllr]

I have very much enjoyed a weekend in Bradford at our Green Councillors conference.

Grateful to connect more with so many inspiring greens doing crucial work across the country @sheridanvk @HeatherMack4 @LiamShrivastava @tamhauyu @JulianDean99 and many more @GreenCllrs

@Daniel_Laycock1 @EastGreenParty @ElliotTongUK @CambridgeGreens Lil reflection... what does May2025 look like I wonder... 👀👀

[Adrian Ramsay MP @AdrianRamsay]

Yesterday the people of the #WaveneyValley chose real hope and real change. I will work tirelessly as their @TheGreenParty MP to be their voice in Westminster, to bring attention to their priorities and push for the bold action that is needed on climate, housing & the NHS.
