Single Transferable Voting...

Here's how STV works...

Two of the three LibDems were placed fourth (only three members per ward elected) in the 1st preference votes and they secured seats.

On the Council website they have published the 1st preference votes for each candidate.

Vaughan Moody, (1094) polled over TWO HUNDRED LESS 1st votes than Majinder Shergill (1305) and still secured a seat.

Duncan Cumming, (981) polled over ONE HUNDRED LESS 1st votes than Ali Syed (1082) and still secured a seat.

The results are here

Democracy in action.
