Zenfrozt. Here are the wards for Edinburgh. You can probably figure it out from the names but if you are not sure there are boundary maps for each of the wards. I don't really find the numbering very helpful the names are more meaningful.

We will have interesting debates coming up in Midlothian between two new councillors:
Ian Baxter - Green
Peter de Vink - Independent (http://www.pdev4midlothian.org.uk/) who is whole heartedly against windfarmsThe latter is my ward and was the only one of those elected who responded to my late email. He comes from NL and seemed very positive towards better facilities for cyclists in Midlothian.

No, Dave, people were not voting in blood. They were, however, smearing snot and bogies onto envelopes.
Spoilt votes - as someone who has worked at counts, I would say that if you intend to spoil your paper, the count workers much prefer a slogan, a crudely drawn phallus, or a sweary rant (such as the chap who put "nae f*cking chance" in every box last time) rather than just a blank vote or a scribble, because it breaks the monotony a bit and gives us a laugh.

Do they count the wards sequentially? I'm just, by four houses, in Porty/Craigmillar (rather than Duddingston/Craigentinny) which ake sit the 17th, and final, ward.

Chas Booth Scottish Green Party Five

Only two to go. No overall control again, but Labour may be biggest reps? And yeah, could Greens be bigger than Lib Dems?

I hear Fife is nice to live in if you have your own jet ski to get to work...

Who with though?

Sorely disappointed with the lack of imagination from my fellow ward members...
I'm guessing, spitters, that you're not a Labour fan? ;)

@anth - they were responsible for signing the contract we can't get out of for the waste of money the trams are

Wonder when I will have time to Write To Them, especially when there'll be a bit of variety in the tone required to my three representatives...

duffyking tweet holds no punches in their opinion of Labour...
duffyking:
@EdinburghLabour - you are dirty evil b@$t@rd$ for getting Walker, the dirty evil b@$t@rd, elected #voteedin12 #edelect @AndrewDBurns [via Twitter]oof...
So Twitter doesn't filter then?
Posted 13 years ago # -
Yeah but Spitters that was quite some time ago now, and it's not necessarily the same councillors. How long do we hold it against them? (bear in mind here I didn't vote for Labour and I'm lumbered with two Labour (and one SNP) in my ward).
They have no overall control this time round, so there won't be 'more' tram nonsense forced through - I don't think it's quite 'would the last person leaving Edinburgh turn off the lights'...
