Address: The Labour Party, Southside, 105 Victoria Street, London SW1E 6QT For the purposes of the Political Parties Elections and Referendums Act 2000 the responsible officers are: Name Position Linda Heap Registered Treasurer Mhairi Doyle Chair (Deputy Treasurer) This Statement of Accounts uses cash accounting in line with guidance issued by the Electoral Commission. Last year’s accounts were prepared on the cash basis. The figures shown for last year have not been recalculated. ELECTED OFFICIALS Five elected councillors sit on Sefton Council REVIEW OF POLITICAL ACTIVITIES Membership at end of 2019 was 923. This was a decrease from the previous year of 60, due in a large part by some members disagreeing with our policy on Brexit. In 2019 we fought another hard local council election campaign. After winning our first two elected council seats, we wanted to increase our seats. The two sitting councillors in Norwood ward, who had defected from the LibDems after the general election, decided to both stand down, so we fought an election and by-election in that ward as well as in our other target ward in Kew. We also had a secondary target in Birkdale. We increased our door-knocking and identifying our vote across the constituency. On Election Day we used our resources in the target wards, were out from 6am in all three wards, and we all worked tirelessly to get our vote out.

  • Sefton Council Election Results 1973-2012
    Sefton Council Election Results 1973-2012 Colin Rallings and Michael Thrasher The Elections Centre Plymouth University The information contained in this report has been obtained from a number of sources. Election results from the immediate post-reorganisation period were painstakingly collected by Alan Willis largely, although not exclusively, from local newspaper reports. From the mid- 1980s onwards the results have been obtained from each local authority by the Elections Centre. The data are stored in a database designed by Lawrence Ware and maintained by Brian Cheal and others at Plymouth University. Despite our best efforts some information remains elusive whilst we accept that some errors are likely to remain. Notice of any mistakes should be sent to [email protected]. The results sequence can be kept up to date by purchasing copies of the annual Local Elections Handbook, details of which can be obtained by contacting the email address above. Front cover: the graph shows the distribution of percentage vote shares over the period covered by the results. The lines reflect the colours traditionally used by the three main parties. The grey line is the share obtained by Independent candidates while the purple line groups together the vote shares for all other parties. Rear cover: the top graph shows the percentage share of council seats for the main parties as well as those won by Independents and other parties. The lines take account of any by- election changes (but not those resulting from elected councillors switching party allegiance) as well as the transfers of seats during the main round of local election.

  • Fegyverleletek Királykő Várából
    WEAPON FINDS FROM KING’S ROCK CASTLE∗ SÓFALVI ANDRÁS∗∗ Keywords: King’s Rock, border castle, arrowheads, Teutonic Order Abstract: King’s Rock castle known by the locals as ‘Oratea’, is situated under the Piatra Craiului (HU: Királykő) Mountains near the exit of the road that leads from the Bran Pass to Wallachia (Muntenia) in the outskirts of Podu Dâmboviței village (Argeș County). The fortification’s dimensions are very modest. It has an irregular rhomboidal layout with a semicircular tower on the eastern side and is defended by a ditch on the same side. The entrance of the castle was identified on the southern side; furthermore, two structures dug into the rock were discovered inside the castle. The castle, was mentioned for the first time at the beginning of the 15th century as a royal fortification, and after several decades it came into the possession of Szekler Count (Comes Siculorum). According to the historical documents it was used until the 16th century, a supposition corroborated by the results of the archaeological investigations carried out between 1968 and 1969 as well as in 1971. The archaeological finds discovered there in secondary position and kept today in the collection of the Argeș County Museum in Pitești are composed of iron objects, with a significant number of weapons (i.e. 40 arrowheads), hinting at the sieges suffered by the castle during the 14–15th centuries. Based on the analysis of the topographical position of the castle we can put forward the hypothesis whereby King’s Rock castle is the only fortification outside the arch of the Carpathian Mountains known today which corresponds with the contemporary descriptions referring to the fortifications built by the Teutonic Order.
