is it just me, or are the 'live blogs' and 'live feeds' just twitter feeds running a bit slow?

The BBC one had a few non-Twitter snippets. The table on the Steamie seemed to be failing, though that could be down to a page load order versus office-IT-police Twitter-block error.

Probably the wi-fi in Meadowbank clogged with tweets?

Maybe someone mentioned it earlier, but in my ward Green got the most votes! (just!).
http://www.edinburgh.gov.uk/downloads/file/7336/ward_9_fountainbridgecraiglockhart-summary_reportso Ward 9:
Elected:
Corbett (Green): 24.1% [edit: elected at stage 3]
Key (SNP): 23.5% [edit: elected at stage 5]
Burns (Labour): 23.2% [edit: elected at stage 4]Other:
Searle (Conservative/Unionist): 21.1%
Lowrie (LibDems): 7.3%
Strode (Liberals): 0.7%Although we can't see exactly how people voted, I would guess the libdem votes moved to green, and the conservative votes moved to SNP?
Good stuff :D (very happy ^_^)
[edit: The percentages are proportion of 1st preference votes]
Posted 13 years ago # -
So that's 3 greens so far, hope for a few more!
The breakdown for my ward (10) isn't out yet, but interested to see where the Jenny Dawe vote was(n't)
Posted 13 years ago # -
Oh and Bonnyrigg also voted itself a Green councillor. Well done Midlothian :)
Posted 13 years ago # -
@lionfish - what is amazing though is that he had the highest number of first choices! (I suppose that goes along with highest overall, but still telling - exactly why PR is such a good system)
Posted 13 years ago # -
@SRD: Yeah, or not even PR, just a transferable vote is a bonus. It's really nice to be able to go and vote without having to try to guess what everyone else is going to do!
Posted 13 years ago # -
@lionfish I'd guess other way around Cons-Green Libs-Nats
Posted 13 years ago # -
[EDIT]
Scratch that, found it.
Posted 13 years ago # -
This might be a stupid question...but how do I know which ward I'm in?
Posted 13 years ago # -
"I'd guess other way around Cons-Green Libs-Nats"
I'd guess even more random. Indications are that of the people who voted a lot really thought about they did/didn't want and used the system (in the way it was intended) to do things like not electing Jenny Dawe in a four seat ward!

@Zenfrozt: I don't know an easy way of figuring that out (there must be a postcode finder somewhere), but this page has lots of confusing maps!
http://www.edinburgh.gov.uk/info/781/constituencies_wards_and_boundaries/829/council_wards/1
Also to help there's a map on the wikipedia page in the corner.
