Late yesterday evening the results were declared for the European Elections. The results for Southend were as follows:
An Independence From Europe 1073 - 3%
BNP 457 - 1%
Christian People's Alliance 375 - 1%
Conservative 11523 - 27%
Eng Dem 704 - 2%
Green 3387 - 8%
Labour 6711 - 16%
Lib Dems 2645 - 6%
No2EU 191 - 1%
UKIP 15967 - 37%
Total votes: 43033
There were also a high number of spoilt ballot papers. 337 in total. The majority of these were blank which fits with the stories that I was receiving at the polling stations where people only wanted to vote in the local elections but had to also be given a European Election ballot paper.
