No OAP, People had 3 votes... so only about 200 voted for 3 Tories. Not 600 for one each. The candidate you mention above didn't bother showing up to the count.

Hopefully that is the last Tottenham ever hear from that person. That was one candidate that we will remember for years to come and just laugh.

Funny how quiet it is on the Labour front. 3 Labour councillors have been voted in and none of them have bothered to post on here.
Perhaps they're still busy receiving orders from their masters. Or maybe they have no one to thank on HoL...

Not quiet in St Ann's. According to the Tottenham and Wood Green Journal Ali Gul Ozbek and Peter Morton have broken their silence on St Ann's Selection Meeting vote-rigging and rule-breaking.
"People are entitled to their views", said Mr Morton.
“I don’t deserve whatever they say on Harringay Online," said Mr Ozbek. "I am there to help my residents, to be a bridge between the residents and the council; I’m there to help them. I am not there to listen to dirt".
I've added a comment to point out the difference between "dirt", "views" and evidenced facts.

Yes Sindhi Chandwani, I know we had 3 votes. Just trying to get across to Lydia that they're fishing from so small a pool that maybe they should field 1 official Tory to gain the same result. After all Labour has a monopoly of Tory candidates, and presumably of Tory voters. Official Cons are wasting their time and breath.

LOOOOOOOL @ Sindhi... I am impressed. In fact, I am very impressed OAP.
I would blush, but I may awake the dead for harrassing you with innuendos...!

But, particularly with local elections, some will have voted for the individuals rather than parties so one voter may have voted for three different parties so consolidating into one could have made some difference.

I assume James Ryan was at the count. Out of interest, did he spend the whole day out and about in Harringay ward?

First post and just wanted to share some thoughts on the Crouch End ward result. I was disappointed at the result in the Crouch End Ward but in the end not that surprised.
Two of the existing Liberal Democrats councillors (David Winskill and Paul Strang) stood down and the other Lyn Weber was standing as an Independent although when elected last time round she was Liberal Democrat (not sure what the story was there).
The Labour party seem to have targeted this ward and in fairness to them have been very active over the last few months (on the doorstep and online) although they have been very quiet over the 8 years I've been living here. This approach seemed to be in complete contrast to the incumbent Liberal Democrats who seemed tired, lethargic and resigned to losing months ago.
When you look at the results for the ward certain things stand out:
1. The 647 votes that went to the independent candidate Lyn Weber seem to have split the Liberal Democrat vote and allowed Labour to take two out of three council seats. I wonder if she had stood as a Liberal Democrat whether she would have polled more votes.
2. In a ward which on the face of it would seem to be prime Conservative territory do they perform so badly; even less than the Green party
3. It is well known that Haringey is one of the worst run borough's in the country and yet people decide to elect more Labour candidates; baffling that one.
Finally just wanted to say a big thank you to David Winskill (former Lib Dem councillor) for his sterling work and "can do" attitude in the ward over the past 12 years; you will be missed David.
