Hackney Central election result

A really good result for us in Hackney. I got 260 (11%), Charlie got 161 (7%). I beat the Tories. Full result below.

We have held up the socialist vote from four years ago despite the sad demise of the Socialist Alliance (and despite extensive gentrification of the ward, and the Labour council not making any cuts this year).

Moreover, we met loads of good people, and plan some good follow-up in the area. Oh, and I think comrades who canvassed really enjoyed themselves too!

Booth (Socialist Unity) 260
Fawkes (LibDem) 543
Frost (Tory) 246
Gallagher (Green) 598
Kelsey (Tory) 229
Laing (Labour 1233
Ledger (Tory) 205
Lloyd (Labour) 1259
McDonald (Socialist Unity) 161
Snaders (LibDem) 343
Stops (Labour) 1061
Thompson-Wood (LibDem) 320

PS. The Greens only got so many because they were every protest voter's third vote.
