Further Green Gains in May 2008!In Norwich 3 gains made the Green Party the second biggest party on the city council, close behind Labour, with more Green votes than any other party in the city, and beating Labour by about 3,000 votes in former minister Charles Clarke's Norwich South constituency. Greens also made their first gain in Cambridge, completed the set of three councillors in Sheffield Central ward and came from fourth place in the same ward last year to depose the Labour group leader in Solihull. These are just a few examples of council seats gained this time all over the country. See the main Green Party web site for a full list. |
