Over 40% postal vote in a city. That seems odd to me.
|
|
By:
That's about what you'd expect
e.g. General Election 2015 Houghton and Sunderland South Valid Postal Votes: 22950 Total valid Votes: 38489 At 59.60% this was the highest % postal votes in any UK constituency. Many other NE constituencies in the 40% area. Just ask if you want any more. |

I've been very uncomfortable with the postal vote business for a long while.

Wow. Is it just in the NE or does it happen in big cities nationwide? What are the reasons given?

Top 10 constituencies by postal vote at the 2015 GE:
Houghton and Sunderland South 59.60% Washington and Sunderland West 57.50% Sunderland Central 56.20% Newcastle upon Tyne North 51.90% Newcastle upon Tyne Central 49.10% South Shields 45.60% Blaydon 45.10% Jarrow 43.20% Stevenage 42.60% Doncaster North 42.10% This is a guess ( as I kept the data for a different purpose ). Most of these are strong Labour areas ( not all ) with low labour mobility and low mobility generally. It makes sense to save money and encourage your hard core support to register for a postal vote. It saves quite a bit of money from party funds compared to taking people to the polling station on the day by car and mini-bus. Labour funds being especially tight as union dues have dropped away. |

Ok, I get the NE ones with the assembly tie in. Stevenage looks a bit of an anomaly on that list. Do you know roughly what the postal % would be in a standard town or city?

By:
The 18 lowest postal vote %s at the 2015 GE were the Northern Ireland constituencies where postal voting has different rules - medical justification typically required.
|
|
By:
Excluding Northern Ireland the ten lowest constituencies for % postal votes at the GE 2015 were:
Stoke-on-Trent North 10.80% Oxford East 10.80% Bury St Edmunds 10.80% Birmingham, Ladywood 10.70% Dagenham and Rainham 10.50% Wolverhampton South East 10.40% Halton 10.20% Birmingham, Perry Barr 9.90% Sherwood 9.50% Weaver Vale 7.80% |

That postal vote in Sunderland is slightly below what you'd expect. If this was a General Election you would say it's a bad result for Labour by a single % or 2.
What that means for the Remain-Leave split, I don't know, but it could slightly favour Leave. Please don't bet on this analysis though. |

By:
sunderland are leaving as far as im aware
|
|
By:
Sunderland was expected about 54% leave - BBC rumour is that Leave is 62%

Can't believe them rock b@stard's - really p1ssed me off

By:
Sunderland could represent a big swing in Labour seats,mostly they will get high turnouts so the extra majorities may be an issue.
