Royston Smith, you got what you deserved.

Considering Southy has managed to not only increase TUSC's share of the vote in Redbridge, which is one of NuLabour's strongest wards, but he has also pushed Liberal Democrats into third place, I hope should be sufficient to shut those up who keep on ridiculing him on this website.

Southy to do everything Labour have promised to do either the council tax will have to go up by about £15-20 a month or there will have to be drastic job cuts.
Can't wait to see the unions love affair end.
If going by Don Thomas's article Can't wait to see the Bio-Mass being built & seeing Freemantle girls anti labour rhetoric,
Southy the biggest joke of this are the people who bought their council homes & now are voting Labour meaning no one else has the same option as them.
the saying "You can fool some of the people all of the time but not all the people all of the time" seems to be quoted wrongly here it should be you can Blackmail all the residents to gain power.
I can't believe Labour are proud at winning that way & should serve as a serious warning to us.
We're in the S+it & have two years before we can wipe it away

i'd have a long way to go before I caught up with all your Royston stroking and rhetoric. as I keep saying, it's not actually the local authorities' faults that they've had this enormous cut in revenue. However, the way it's been managed in Southampton with huge contracts still up for grabs and huge sums of money spent on that isn't right.

My new Labour councillor has assured me they are against Biomass too so not sure where you got that one from! However, even if they were for it, I would still have voted the same way because I think it's the best way of protecting the vulnerable in this city. my own personal loss (although I have 2 very vulnerable youngsters and they are my first priority) is nothing compared to that of people who've had their homes taken away, unemployment at an all time high for youngsters, and crazy building schemes that benefit noone except the developers....

I'm just glad we don't have June Bridle any more as that woman was a nightmare as is Adrian Vinson!

Blackmail clearly doesn't work,,,,Royston lost control of the city,,,,take a pay cut, do the same job for less money or lose your jobs,,now that's blackmail and it cost Royston and Tories the control of the council.

Are you forgetting Don Thomas's words?
I hope your not as gullible as you sound in the above article!
Labour have said whatever it took to get votes & the people have fallen for it.
Let's all go the way of Greece or Spain become bankrupt & then see what happens to the vulnerable in society?
Greece a great big socialist country yet you see people losing their homes & living on the streets in droves is that what socialism will bring?

And don't forget, if "rich pensioners" receive this modest Council Tax discount it means that they are not in receipt of any other welfare benefits. So we are costing the City and the country much less than those in receipt of full welfare benefits. We can also now look forward to fortnightly bin collections, and you Council workers had better make arrangement for your futures - because by the time the next local elections come round, about 2,000 of you will be jobless.

Always nice to hear from a good loser who can accept defeat gracefully - what a pity you did not oblige.

A massive swing to Labour but, of course, you know best and the majority are wrong.

You appear to the the sort of person who, seeing their son marching, but out of step, with the Boy Scouts, would tell anyone who would listen, "Look at my son! He's the only one in step!"

In democracy we get what majority wishes for through the ballot box. That majority has decided to only change personalities, I wish it was vote for changing policies, because that is what our city needs

Well, what did we expect. The Conservatives didn't have a chance. Labour may or may not change policies but, unless they cut services drastically or put council tax up sharply it's not going to be any better. There is a need to engage people in politics if we wish ti live in a democracy(which we don't) - I had 3 election flyers, 1 tory, 1 labour both saying aren't we brilliant aren't they rubbish and an extra labour one which i didn't bother reading as it would have been no different to the other 2. These days unless one is interested and goes looks the first time you find out who is putting up is when you got to the polling station. Do these people want my vote or input - NO. Will they do anything good for me - NO! My Mother insisted the ONLY difference between Labour and the Tories is that they both promise you what you want, they both do what they want but Labour tell you it's for your own good while the Tories just do it. She preferred the Tories. Sadly Tories seem infected with the "it's for your own good syndrome" as well these days(in Central government at least.

Was talking to an independant who was planning for the independants to gain control of his local council, having had all independants who stood elected the previous time - how?, local people getting out and meeting local people and listening to local people and telling them the facts!. Wonders if they succeeded.

Sorry but to say Vote Labour or we'll continue to strike doesn't sound anything like take a pay cut & we can save as many jobs as possible so are you really that thick?
I will have the last laugh as I know as well as all the Labour party members the lies they've used will come back to bite them in the bum.
two years next year 1-10 job cuts in refuse next year tax increases of at least £10-£15 a month I wonder who will gain votes then?

I don't know why people keep going on about fortnightly rubbish collections, no-one has proposed this anywhere!

As for rise in CT, if it holds onto services for everyone, then so be it, although a modest, manageable rise is sensible. For those of you whingeing I suspect a rise i n CT will be the first time you have been hit by the austerity measures - surely we're all in this together?! seems some just want to tell us all that, but they don't want any effect on them! even Surrey council which is so Tory you could see blue everywhere, managed to see that a CT rise was the way to go and defied the government on it. Sadly, like someone's already said if we want to keep services we have to make up the shortfall to keep services going, making people unemployed doesn't!

Southy, that is beyond the control of a local council. You are contradicting yourself I thought it was Mrs T who began the dismantling of the NHS? ;) I don't always agree with every single policy and would obviously fight (and have been doing) any ridiculous changes like Lansley's to the NHS which is pure arrogance as no-one agrees with him! even many of his Tory boys..... The real culprits are the LibDems who are in government with the Tories (although you'd never notice would you!) as they're propping up all these outrageous polices. YES measures and streamlining does need to be done but it needs proper consultation and thought.

As for Dave Nellist, he's a lovely bloke I've met him but he got expelled by the Labour party for being in the militant tendency. That will never happen in this country - sorry but it won't. it was all very exciting in the 80s when I was a student and very left wing myself lol. I always stick up for you because you are passionate about what you believe in but just slagging off Labour and the tories does you no favours.......

I have defended JMoulton on occasions too, as he's done a lot in our Ward and Michael Ball hasn't. No-one can ever find or speak to him! However, Royston has been the Tories downfall in this city, just like ConCam will nationally.... I qiute like the idea as I said of a council actually run by local people not affiliated to any party at all but can't see it happening anytime soon! people are too selfish these days.....

Well done for increasing your vote.

Well I think shes a great candidate for us to be honest. Older doesn't always mean wiser.

Have you spoken to people of her age and what they feel about politics? No. Shes an inspiration for us all, and might encourage a few of the younger lot to get involved a bit more.

I spoke to her on my doorstep, seems like a genuinely caring young lady if you ask me.

I look forward to seeing what potential she has. You've just tarred her with the "yoof" brush .

We said the same this morning, watch your council tax go up next year. Where's the money going to come from eh? Where exactly? Lets see Labour do oh so much better than Tory and then we'll see the same people that are here today revert back to Tory voting. We are here now precisely because Labour cocked up royally the last time they were in.

What exactly do you think the Council Tax is for then? is it a Political football to be kicked about to win votes? As I understand it, it should be used to provide the services that people require and should be balanced to do that. Not held at an unacceptable level that means cuts in services just to gain a few votes.

"Labour voters want their fantasy bottomless pit of money back."
That is so true! Talking to people in the past week or two it is incredible how many did not realise how bad our financial situation is. We were left bankrupt by the last Labour government, mostly because of their outrageous and stupid over-spending (£600 Billion in debt and rising BEFORE the financial crisis!!).
Apart from the deficit and government debt, we still have Trillions of pounds in personal debt too!
Where do these Labour supporters think the money will come from to put our country back on an even footing?
Get used to the fact that our standard of living is declining and will continue to do so - never will it again be as good as it was. You can thank the last Labour government for that. (I'm sure those well known multi-millionnaires Tony Blair, Peter Madelson, Michael Meacher, John Prescott, Geoffrey Robinson, et al, will lend you a few bob if you ask them!!!!)

2. A deputy Prime minister who imediately goes back on a signed promise to students.
3.A rise in unemployment together with a double dip recession and a failed state supported banking system which will still will not lend enough money to business despite massive bonuses being paid for failure.
4. A top down reorganisation of the N H S despite a promise not to do so.
5. An attack on the genuine sick and disabled by reducing their benefits whilst also reducing income tax for the very rich.

The best solutions they can come up with?

1. A tax on Gran and Grandad.
2. A tax on pasties but only if they are hot!
3. A petrol strike panic when there was no strike.

Quite honestly you could not have got a clean sheet of paper and made it up!

However, as you bring it up perhaps you can enlighten us as to how after two (or is it three?) coalition budgets we still have increased national debt, no growth and higher unemployment than in May 2010?

In regard to financial regulation and spending Mr Cameron is on record when in opposition as saying that there was too much regulation and if elected he would at least match Labour's spending!

As I posted previously the man gives every indication of being a Flip Flopper with no real idea as to why he has become an unelected Prime Minister without a mandate, a fact that the public appears to be waking up to.

How can the council tax go up next year?

Eric Pickles gave/will give massive discounts (extra money) to council's who didn't increase the council tax in year 2012/13 and Southampton didn't increase their council tax, therefore the only way council tax will increase is if Labour hand back the discounts and sign away future discounts, if they do that Central Government will fine them, costing more money.

I have no doubt that Pickles gave those discounts (across the country) to councils as an election sweetener for the controlling Tory councils, now the Tories have been battered he could commit political suicide and remove the discounts.

In truth, unless this new administration want to get kicked out in 2 years time they won't increase council tax next, however I wouldn't say the same for Pickles

All councillors have to live in the city that's why an extremely good councillor had to stand down as he moved so your comment is wrong

Thats why our forefathers fought hard for all of those to have the right to vote. I really hope the Labour run council can make a difference to our city, but I wont hold my breath. Previous councils of all parties have, I believe failed this city in the past. Its time they actually listen to what the people of the city want, not what the councillors think we want and also looking to further their own profile/ego.
As they say, the proof of the pudding is in the eating, its now over to you, the Labour councillors to prove yourselves.

You've got that one wrong this financial year ( from April) was the second year next April Labour can increase it if that's what they want to do, Take a look at Brighton & what the Green party did.

With respect you appear fixated by the deficit.

However, despite this fixation (or perhaps because of it) you appear unable to connect with the fact that no progress has been made toward its successful resolution since May 2010.

Your rational is to be to blame the situation on anybody but Mr Cameron, including (but no doubt not limited to) the previous Labour Government and/or the Eurozone.

Again, with respect, Mr Cameron was elected (or in his case not) and it is his job to pick up the problem and try to resolve it.If after two years his answer is increased debt, no growth and higher unemployment then clearly the signal given is that he is simply not up to the job, a fact that yesterdays electorate appear to have had no problem in telling him.

You are right about one thing I am angry - as its me and others like me that will be picking up the cost for years to come. Have you even put your hand in your pocket yet?

Did I result to personal insults? Lost my marbles, Thick, Pompous idiot, Fairy - No.

You talk alot but say nothing. Hence why you vote Labour.

I'll say again the 'Bottomless Pitt Fantasy Money party' will never be trusted with the national public purse again.

Simple as...

in the community , people what were you thinking .

Mr Nobody, I bet you did not complain when the 18 year old tories took their seats four years ago.
As for living in the ward, the defetated Conservative Councillor DOES NOT even live in Southampton, at least the 3 Millbrook Councillors do, and they are contactable.
Just a point of accuracy for Condor Man Jenks as you call him, was not standing as a candidate last night.

All councillors have to live in the city that's why an extremely good councillor had to stand down as he moved so your comment is wrong

Loose "No" Councillors must live in the City or Work in the City

On this occassion Southy is totally correct, to stand for a local council, you do not have to live within its boundaries, so long as you have a work qualification, ie you place of work is within the boundaries of the local authority that you wish to stand for you can stand for that council.
Hence the Micheal Ball, when he was a councillor in Southampton does not actually live in the boundaries of Southampton City Council. He qualified to stand by virtue of him having a work qualification. Can I suggest that you check up on these things loosehead, and perhaps take an active part in the political process instead of just spouting off from your armchair.

Please,where in any of my posts have I mentioned "two years to sort this mess out"? This remark is yours and yours alone.

I have simply pointed out that there is increased debt, no growth and higher unemployment since May 2010.

Surely if you do not factually dispute my comments reference debt,growth,and unemployment then you must be able to see that Mr Cameron's solution is not starting to work nor showing any signs of doing so in the future? Regretfully from Mr Cameron's point of view (despite all of the coalition government spin) the electorate have also picked up on this fact and voted accordingly.

I believe the expression is "democracy at work".

And you sound bitter so are not speaking from strength.

Also you consistantly talk sleeze as if Labour are immune from it? Tony Blair anyone...

Labour -'vote for us, we'll line your pockets with money we don't have, bring the country to its knees and then go live in our big houses and never be seen again'

thanks for that.

Don't worry though, middle England will pick up the pieces, we always do.

saintjak Some interesting thoughts, 1. I did not put any time frame in other than reference to the period since 2010 when Mr Cameron assumed responsibility and became Prime Minister. What other real time period is there to make a judgement of him on? 2.What would it be reasonable to expect to happen in his two years in charge? Perhaps less debt,any sort of economic growth and less unemployment may have helped and certainly not a double dip recession? 3.If we are holding our own then why did the electorate not vote for more of the same yesterday? 4. I continually hear the Government spinning that all is rosey now never mind in five years time. 5.Do not place to much faith in London. If Boris wins he will remain as Mayor but I expect that the Tories will still lose seats in the capital.Also, did not most other cities reject the chance of future mayoral elections yesterday? 6. The Tories have not won an overall majority in a General Election since John Major in the early nineties and on past and present form this looks unlikely to change in 2015.

Whilst I respect your obviously strongly held views I think your remark "Some people in Southampton who can't see beyond their noses etc etc" may be one that upon a period of calm reflection you may wish to withdraw?

I assume you are refering to the electorate and if so surely you should at least be magnanimous in accepting their decision even if it is one with which you do not agree in person?

After all what happened yesterday was simply "democracy at work"

Again, interesting if ever increasingly illogical comments.

1.Name any previous modern day Prime Minister who remained in power for 15 years?

2.Running the UK economy (or for that matter any other in Europe) is thankfully not my responsibility. I merely comment on the facts as documented ie increased debt,no growth and more unemployment since 2010 . However is it not supposed to be the responsibility of Prime Ministers as first Lords of the Treasury to run the U K economy?

3.Clearly holding our own? I repeat, not according to the views of voters yesterday.

4.Listen to any coalition government reported interview on the T V, radio or read most newspapers but oddly not so much the Sun and the Times now?

5. If the current Mayor is a Tory and is reelected then how is that a Labour loss?

6. If (and I agree that it is a big if) yesterdays results were repeated at a General Election then Labour would have a majority of 80 odd seats.Unelectable? Again yesterdays voters would appear to think not.

Having said all of the above we can appear to agree that hopefully the Liberals are finished.

Further, if your log in is not bogus it would appear to indicate that we are fellow Saints supporters? If so I wish you all the best for next season in the Premiership.

Oh, southy – didn’t TUSC do badly?

Here is the vote in 2012 compared to 2011 is all the Southampton wards where TUSC stood in both years.

Swaythling - 76 in 2012, 104 in 2011.
Woolston – 138 in 2012, 163 in 2011

This is a much bigger decline in the TUSC vote than the turnout decline.

But congratulation to you Peter as the only one to actually post more votes than last year.

However, you were telling us at 4:13pm Thu 19 Apr 12 “Rebridge a Tory seat up for gabs, Torys here have lost this seat hands down, its a question who will take it Labour or the TUSC”. Ha, ha – you couldn’t even beat the Tory who got over three times your vote.

And, nationally? Yet another blank for TUSC.

The TUSC is not a vote catcher, try a new name, like the Real Labour Party or something catchy like the AntiTory League or something.

You are not watching I have been knocking the Labour Party, because they do not represent the people that the party was first set up to do.
The Labour party is on it final notice if they don't deliver then they will lose massive support and they will get another back lash from the voters, but next time the people will have the TUSC to vote for, so there will be no voting Torys to get the Labour party removed.
The TUSC will repersent the working class.

Your last comments surprise me not. They will, I am sure, merely confirm the opinion that all fair minded people will have already previously formed of you.

I am off for my tea now and wish you all the best for the future.

I would like to mention the performance put in by our Green candidates across the city campaigning for environment and a fair social justice settlement for all citizens. This paid off pushing TUSC and liberal democrat alike into 4th or worse and placing Green party as main alternative to the big two parties. A big thanks to our voters and supporters.

No great shock I suspect to learn we are a small party currently in Southampton with limited resources and have to deploy them where it makes sense. We also believe in localism and standing local candidates in each ward. These factors explain why we didn't stand in every ward this time. We are growing year on year however and will certainly be targeting a full slate for 2014 !

Oh dear .... he beat an old man who some of the Labour party didnt really give their blessing to.
.
He won by a few hundred votes.
.
Boris had the backing of all the Tory gutter press which included a witch hunt by the Daily Fail.
.
It was victory for an Alpaca lookalike ... well done

I would only blame the previous incumbents, just like a good Tory would.....

Mr Nobody
Oh dear its sour grapes time. Labour has won Millbrook three times in a row now because we have been putting in the work. The problem Tories like you have was you thought personal abuse shifted votes. I started working the Millbrook ward in Sept 2008 and constantly since then.
This kind of crap you dish out does not work. We have increased the Labour vote from 21% to 49% and more and more people keep voting for us.
The reason we picked a 19yr old woman was because the Labour Party believes that our council representatives should reflect the kind of people they represent. You have underestimated Georgie, she deserved to win and worked hard for her success. She is no longer Miss laming but Councillor Laming.
Tories cannot fight elections on the issues and sad individuals like you will continue and deserve to lose more seats
One of the fat idiots Cllr Dave Furnell
