2000 Election Results for the Mayor of London and the London Assembly 2000 election results for the Mayor of London and the London Assembly The 2000 Mayor of London election results If there are only two candidates, the Mayor of London is elected using the First Past the Post system. The candidate with the most votes wins. If there are three or more candidates running for Mayor, the Supplementary Vote system is used to ensure the candidate with the broadest amount of support from London is elected. In this system, voters can cast a first and second choice vote. If a candidate receives more than half of all the first choice votes they are elected. If this does not happen, the top two candidates with the most first choice votes go through to a second round. All other candidates are eliminated, but the second choice votes on their ballot papers are looked at. If they are for either of the top two candidates, these second choices are added to their totals. The candidate with the highest total of first and second choice votes wins. If there is a tie then the Greater London Returning Officer draws lots. 1st % 1st 2nd Final Name Party choice* choice choice* total Ken Livingstone Independent 667,877 38.96 108,550 776,427 Steve Norris Conservative 464,434 27.09 99,703 564,137 Frank Dobson Labour 223,884 13.06 Susan Kramer Liberal Democrat 203,452 11.87 Christian Peoples Ram Gidoomal 42,060 2.45 Alliance Darren Johnson Green 38,121 2.22 Michael Newland British National Party 33,569 1.96 UK Independence Damian Hockney 16,234 0.95 Party Geoffrey Ben- Pro-Motorist Small 9,956 0.58 Nathan Shop Ashwin Kumar Independent 9,015 0.53 Tanna Geoffrey Natural Law Party 5,470 0.32 Clements * These numbers reflect the number of valid votes and do not include those ballot papers which were spoilt.

To be included in this calculation, each political party or independent candidate must receive five per cent of the total number of London-wide votes cast, or they are eliminated. The below calculation is then carried out for each party, for each of the 11 seats. The party with the highest result at each round is allocated the seat. Total number of votes won Seats already won (including constituency seats) + 1 The parties allocate the seats they have won to the candidates in the order they appear on their nomination list.

  • Greens' BAME Manifesto
    WORK There is a looming crisis in unemployment among young BAME people. Figures from the House of Commons Library show that in 2014 there were 41,000 long term unemployed 16- to 24-year- olds from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic communities, which is a 50% rise from 2010. As a whole BAME workers are almost twice as likely as white workers to be unemployed.1 There is also a growing body of evidence to suggest employers, particularly private sector employers, are filtering out applicants with foreign-sounding names2, while many workplaces report a lack of opportunity for career progression for BAME staff including the NHS,3 the police,4 and academia.5 To address these issues the Green Party would: • Progressively introduce anonymised CVs so fewer female and BAME candidates are screened out before the interview stage. • Introduce a mandatory living wage of £10 an hour by 2020, so BAME workers are lifted out of workplace poverty. • Enforce the minimum wage by law and more actively police breaches. • Strengthen workers’ rights and trade unions so workers can more actively fight against discrimination in the workplace. • End exploitative zero hours contracts which trap BAME workers in insecure low paid work. • Pursue stronger recruitment drives for BAME workers in the public sector. • Reduce Employment Tribunal fees so that workers facing racism can afford to seek justice and recompense. • Increase funding for apprenticeships by 30% to help deliver more opportunities for young people. Green councillors have worked hard in providing job opportunities for BAME people. Former Councillor Maya De Souza in Camden worked hard to address council cuts which were disproportionately affecting BAME employees whilst entrenching a lack of diversity at the top of the council.
