Anyone know why Harringay is being recounted? Someone start talking during the first one and they lost their place?

So Labour have gained seats from the Lib Dems - in Noel Park, St Anns and Bounds Green. According to the Hornsey Journal here.

Same site says Harringay has been recounted more than once, so must be very so close ... Will be announced at 17.00 today apparently.

I think Noel Park and Bounds Green - in the middle of the area. There is totally clear divide now - the further to the East you go the larger the Labour majorities, the further West the larger Lib dems. We in 'the middle' seem to have moved back to Labour (although in Harringay maybe Lib-dems have clung on).

The St Ann's Labour gain is just Brian Haley losing his seat (that he won as a labour councillor).

Haley might want to spend his spare time doing a course with these folk [mind the blight yellow :) ]

Think one of the HOL journo reports from Ally Pally suggested there were only 30 votes in it for the fourth and fifth places. That is very close and obviously those two people would like to see themselves move up into the top three. So maybe that's the reason for the re-count.

Blimey. Was just looking at results from last time - didn't realise they were so close, from 1159 for Carolyn Baker to 1308 for Karen Alexander (and 1254 for Gina Adamou).

It did strike me yesterday that there could be a price to pay for putting up 3 candidates for one party (ie if people don't vote purely on a party line you could end up with only one or none of your candidates being elected).
