Gordon, give up the day job

The results are in, or almost. I recieved 74 votes, about 9.5%, not bad and above the UK average for the Greens, but still quite a way to go. However, our two community councillors in Ceredigion comfortably kept their seats which is very good news. Ceredigion Council has had a shift towards no overall control with 5 Independants loosing their seats and Plaid getting 3 of them. However, it is unlikely that the administration will change as the Lib Dems and Independents may still be able to run the administration as Plaid haven't gained enough votes to take control. Meanwhile, nationally the Greens have done well with an overall gain of 5 seats, with our strongholds in Noriwch and Oxford continuing to make progress. So a long night, but my slight dissappointment is nothing compared to that of Labour!
