In the Council elections in May 2002, Southwark remained under no overall control, and the local Labour Party campaign prevented the Lib-Dems gaining control of their top target authority. Our thanks go to those who voted Labour, to our candidates, to those who campaigned so hard - particularly in Livesey ward which we almost gained, and in Faraday which we held despite an attempt from the far left to split the Labour vote and to let the Lib-Dems in. Congratulations to local Labour Party member Fiona Colley on her election as a councillor in Nunhead.
On television, Simon Hughes was disappointed with the result, saying "It will be harder to run the Council, having to depend on the support of other people". Is this a reference to a Lib-Dem/Tory pact? Does it come from a party which gained under 40% of the votes and used to claim to believe in proportional representation and coalition politics? Sorry to disappoint you Simon!
