| Well done for the votes you did get. That's more than a lot of candidates get.
What was the results/declaration night like? I only found out a couple of elections ago that the candidates get told the results before it's announced publicly on stage. Are you told individually or in a group? It kind of spoilt results night for me a bit that candidates already know the results when they go up onto the stage! |

| Quite tired out. No sooner had I put Butterfield right than I heard a car horn and screeching tyres, and saw what I thought was a dog lying in the road. I rushed down the stairs, only to find it was a plastic bag arranged in a sort of 3D fashion. |

You haven't "put me right"; quite far from it. You've simply taken my mere personal observation - which I stand by - to silly levels. But that's not unexpected. I'm happy for you to disagree with me - we have all led different lives and have different memories and experiences. |

| Thanks. I'll remember that when we next have to hear about your delightful lusts over Rishi Sunak and Anthony Scaramucci.
We're just here for a bit of personal observation, a bit of fun. |

Are you told individually or in a group? It kind of spoilt results night for me a bit that candidates already know the results when they go up onto the stage! Thank you. I was the second lowest out of all candidates that stood in the five Bristol constituencies, and third lowest counting neighbouring areas. The count was done in council wards, then all votes aggregated. I did better in one area without putting a leaflet out! My own area which I stood for in the locals, I didn't get many votes. Oddly enough, one of the more "progressive" areas of the constituency, I got a fair few votes in. As candidate / agent, we have to go through spoiled papers. Most are blanks, offensive language and one with a drawing of male genetalia. Two got contested, as they were genuine votes for the Green candidate in my eyes. The Green, Lib Dem (it was only the candidate who is also my local councillor and a candidate in another constituency), Reform delegations were really friendly. Their candidates were top notch. I didn't see the Tory woman much, but she was very likeable. Labour who won the seat have a lovely candidate / MP, but her delegation was very closed off. My Labour days long behind me. I was only a solo delegate, and was watching the count for another candidate for my party (she got 555 votes with no campaign!). I spoke with a few Green councillors in the city. A friendly and polite Sudanese man who is a councillor in the centre of the city I liked a lot. I'm sure one (who had to be mid-late 20s) fancied me ![wink](/users/3715/63/33/29/smiles/865166871.gif) I guess he wanted an older man lol. Yes, the results are known beforehand in this and local elections. The results are preliminary as there can be a margin of error of a few votes. I think the two contested Green votes were added to the final tally, but it made no impact on the result (18k Lab, 10k Green, 7k Reform etc). We weren't on stage oddly enough. Only the winner. I stayed for her speech, but she has got a lot to do and needs to stop being complacent. I had a hug off the Green candidate. I might not agree with her party and (most) her politics, but she's a relatable candidate and I wanted her to win as she's likeable and intelligent. The Reform guy would have a great winner too. The Lib Dem was chanceless, and he's a great guy who does a good job round here. I think what took the shine off our count was, we had a high profile one in the same venue with Bristol Central which the Greens beat Labour. Press galore. It was like a film premiere! I'd like to do it again, but I am looking at a new area to try locally. Probably two which we did well in and fit the profile of my party (working-class, low income, fed up with the main parties). The result didn't matter to me. It was the experience. I did one hustings (which I was nervous af) and put out over 2000 leaflets - spending less than £70 overall! |

We're just here for a bit of personal observation, a bit of fun. Do or don’t. I won’t take you to task for it the way you do. Yes, we includes me. You won’t find me sl*t shaming you for any Macron related matter, for instance. I know I can be a cow but you can be really priggish sometimes.

Sounds like an interesting experience. Glad it hasn’t put you off. Onwards and upwards. |

| That's all very interesting, and highly positive. It's nice that most of you as candidates got on with each other despite your differences. It must be exciting to be part of it, I always like watching the various declarations on the night - though, and I don't want to get too political, some this time got a bit... heated! |

Thank you. It was a positive experience, and the best election campaign I have ever worked on and been involved. Luckily none of that heated stuff! Even observing the other count (Bristol East, I didn't bother with Central as we didn't put an entry up there), no hard-feelings from any side and civil. |

| As I was writing the post about my GE experience; the family has had news we don't want to hear. My ten year old nephew isn't very well, and it's the worst news any parent / relative can get. I hope he's better soon, and they'll sort it ASAP. |
