May 22nd Colchester Local Election Results

Here are the results for Colchester in terms of overall percentage shares. This compares the results and % changes to 2012 and 2009.  


                                GREEN     CON      LAB    LD      UKIP     IND         BNP
2014Votes %                8.70         33.55    16.17   22.94  15.77      2.88        -
2012 Votes %               7.37         28.97    23.53   32.89    2.68      3.93        -
2009 Votes %              10.31         36.22    12.11   33.66   1.94      0.24      5.76      
2014-2012 % Change     1.33         4.58      -7.36    -9.95   13.09    -1.06             
2014-2009 % Change    -1.61        -2.67      4.06   -10.72   13.83    2.56       -5.76


It is clear that although we are down compared to 2009 this is not part of a trend as we are up from 2012. The largest increase in vote share is clearly that of UKIP who are up by over 13% on both 2009 and 2014. The largest drop is in the Lib Dem vote share. Nonetheless the Lib Dem vote held up enough to enable them to hang on to all seats bar one, which went to Labour.
