The First GLA Result
Posted by jonathanfryer on Friday, 2nd May, 2008
The first GLA constituency to declare is Bexley and Bromley, which has been comfortably held by the Tories, who fielded the personable black candidate James Cleverly (105,162), to replace Three Jobs Bob Neil. Labour’s Alex Heslop has moved into second place (29,925), with the LibDems’ excellent candidate (and recent Bromley Council by-election winner) Tom Papworth a respectable third (21,244). Fourth, alas, is the National Front (11,288), which is an ominous indicator of what might emerge from the BNP vote in the capital.
