Local authority elections in England and Wales, including elections for some “shadow” unitary authorities, were also held on the same day. Library Research Paper 08/48 sets out the results of the local elections. Library Research Paper 04/48 provides data on the previous elections for Mayor of London and the London Assembly, held in June 2004. Turnout in the 2008 Mayoral and Assembly elections was 44.6 per cent and 44.5 per cent respectively, almost nine percentage points higher than in 2004. Boris Johnson, the Conservative candidate, was elected as Mayor of London with 53.2 per cent of the vote. Ken Livingstone (Labour), the incumbent, polled 46.8 per cent. Brian Paddick, the Liberal Democrat candidate, was placed third, and the Siân Berry (Green) was fourth. The Conservatives continue to be the largest party in the London Assembly (11 seats), gaining two seats compared to the 2004 elections. Labour gained one seat (8 seats), the Liberal Democrats lost two seats (3 seats), and the Green Party continue to have 2 seats (no change). With 5.4 per cent of the London-wide ballot vote, 0.4 per cent above the necessary threshold, the British National Party secured one London-wide member on the Assembly, their first ever seat. The UK Independence Party lost both of the London-wide Assembly seats they won in 2004. CONTENTS I Mayor of London 7 A. Summary 7 B. Results by party 10 C.

Summary The Mayor of London is elected by the Supplementary Vote System (SV). Under the SV system, voters mark the ballot paper with their first and second choices of candidates. This is done by placing an “X” - as is usual in other elections - rather than by numbering the list of candidates in their order of preference. Electors are not required to make two choices if they do not wish to. The counting of ballot papers is simple. Voters’ first preferences are counted and if one candidate receives 50 per cent of the vote or more they are elected. If no candidate receives 50 per cent of first preference votes, all remaining candidates, with the exception of the two candidates who received the highest number of votes, are eliminated. The second preference votes on the ballot papers of those eliminated candidates are then examined. Any second preference votes cast for the two remaining candidates are distributed accordingly. The candidate with the most votes at the end of this process is declared elected. Ballot papers where the first and second preference votes are for the top two candidates and not re-used, and the second preference votes are not redistributed to the leading two candidates. In 2008, 300,924 votes were not re- used. A similar proportion of these voters placed the Conservative candidate Boris Johnson first and Labour’s Ken Livingstone second as placed Ken Livingstone first and Boris Johnson second. The accompanying tables in this section detail the number of first and second preference votes for each of the candidates in the 2008 Mayoral elections. The second preferences of all but the leading two first preference candidates were redistributed to Boris Johnson (Conservative) and the incumbent Mayor Ken Livingstone (Labour). As a result, Boris Johnson polled 1,168,738 votes (53.2 per cent) and was elected as Mayor of London compared to Ken Livingstone’s overall vote total of 1,028,966 (46.8 per cent). Although Livingstone received more votes than in 2004 (+208,336 first preference votes and +52,681 second preference votes), his final vote share fell by 8.6 percentage points overall. Livingstone received relatively high shares of first preference votes in City and East (52.0 per cent) and North East (49.4 per cent) but polled less than 30 per cent of first preference votes in West Central (29.0 per cent), Croydon and Sutton (28.8 per cent, Havering and Redbridge (27.8 per cent), and Bexley and Bromley (20.3 per cent). The Conservative candidate, Boris Johnson, polled 1,043,761 first preference votes (43.2 per cent) and 257,792 second preference votes (12.9 per cent). The Conservatives’ first preference vote share rose by 14.1 percentage points compared to 2004 but fell by 1.1 percentage points in the second preference contest. Johnson secured particularly high first preference vote shares in Bexley and Bromley (60.8 per cent), West Central (55.6 per cent), and Havering and Redbridge (52.8 per cent) but polled less favourably in North East (29.4 per cent), Lambeth and Southwark (29.1 per cent), and City and East (27.2 per cent). The Labour and Conservative candidates secured 80.2 per cent of first preference votes overall, compared to 65.9 per cent in 2004. 7 RESEARCH PAPER 08/47 The Liberal Democrat candidate, Brian Paddick, was placed third. Paddick polled 236,685 first preference votes, a first preference vote share of 9.8 per cent. The Liberal Democrats polled a further 641,412 second preference votes (32.0 per cent). Paddick’s highest share of first preference votes was in South West (13.2 per cent), Lambeth and Southwark (12.5 per cent), and Croydon and Sutton (11.9 per cent). However, in Lambeth and Southwark, the Liberal Democrats’ first preference vote share fell by 10.0 per cent compared to 2004. The Liberal Democrats performed less well in West Central (8.4 per cent of first preference votes), Havering and Redbridge (7.3 per cent), and City and East (7.0 per cent). Overall, across London, the Liberal Democrats’ first preference vote share fell by 5.5 percentage points compared to 2004, although their second preference vote share rose by 2.7 per cent. Siân Berry, the Green candidate, was placed fourth in the Mayoral race. Berry polled 77,374 first preference votes (3.2%) and 331,727 second preference votes (16.6 per cent). Compared to 2004, the Greens increased their first preference vote share by just 0.1 percentage points, although their second preference vote share rose by 3.4 percentage points. Berry performed best in North East (5.0 per cent of first preference votes) and Lambeth and Southwark (4.4 per cent) but less well in Bexley and Bromley and Havering and Redbridge (1.9 and 1.8 per cent respectively).

    Decision of the Election Committee on a due impartiality complaint brought by the Respect Party in relation to The London Debate ITV London, 5 April 2016 LBC 97.3 , 5 April 2016 1. On Friday 29 April 2016, Ofcom’s Election Committee (“the Committee”)1 met to consider and adjudicate on a complaint made by the Respect Party in relation to its candidate for the London Mayoral election, George Galloway (“the Complaint”). The Complaint was about the programme The London Debate, broadcast in ITV’s London region on ITV, and on ITV HD and ITV+1 at 18:00 on Tuesday 5 April 2016 (“the Programme”). The Programme was broadcast simultaneously by LBC on the local analogue radio station LBC 97.3, as well as nationally on DAB radio and on digital television (as a radio channel). 2. The Committee consisted of the following members: Nick Pollard (Chair, Member of the Ofcom Content Board); Dame Lynne Brindley DBE (Member of the Ofcom Board and Content Board); Janey Walker (Member of the Ofcom Content Board); and Tony Close (Ofcom Director with responsibility for Content Standards, Licensing and Enforcement and Member of the Ofcom Content Board). 3. For the reasons set out in this decision, having considered all of the submissions and evidence before it under the relevant provisions of the Broadcasting Code (“the Code”), the Committee decided not to uphold the Respect Party’s complaint. The Committee found that in respect of ITV the broadcast of the Programme complied with the requirements of the Code. In the case of LBC, the Programme did not a contain list of candidates in the 2016 London Mayoral election (in audio form) and LBC therefore breached Rule 6.11.

  • London Mayor: Boris Johnson, Ken Livingstone and Brian Paddick
    London’s next Mayor: who is the greenest candidate? The environment in general and climate change in particular, will be a major challenge for London‟s next Mayor. This will require real leadership and action, not just talk. Londoners need a Mayor who will deal with everyday concerns of housing, transport and waste and who will lead London to become a world leading sustainable city. Friends of the Earth has analysed the election manifestos of the three front runners for London Mayor: Boris Johnson, Ken Livingstone and Brian Paddick. We have particularly assessed the candidates‟ views on the key issues of environment, economy, transport and housing. The candidates‟ own words (shown in „quote marks‟) are used in our analysis, along with our own commentary in places. Friends of the Earth is non-party political and independent. We work with all parties to make the environment and sustainable development central to decision making, public policy and business conduct. When political parties adopt adequate policy and turn this into suitable action we applaud and when they fail to do this we criticise. Friends of the Earth’s 2008 election asks: London must take a lead on tackling climate change Commit to high savings in the amount of carbon dioxide London produces by helping us all to change the way we use energy and resources in our homes, at work and in the use of transport. The world‟s top scientists say we must start reducing emissions by at least 80 per cent by 2050. London‟s Climate Change Action Plan has put it at the head of cities taking the issue seriously.

  • City Hall Rich List 2020
    City Hall Rich List 2020 Darwin Friend June 2020 Introduction Scrutinising staffing costs at local and national level is a hallmark of our mission to make government more accountable to taxpayers. This principle underpins our annual Town Hall Rich List, which details remuneration of the highest paid people across local government.1 It should also apply to municipal government. The Greater London Authority (GLA) is one of the biggest local authorities in the UK; it includes a number of well-known bodies and a powerful mayor. Sadiq Khan, the current mayor of London, has complained about financial woes, while the staffing costs of City Hall employees have risen by 82 per cent, from £36 million in 2016-17 to £65.5 million in the 2020-21 proposed budget.2 Meanwhile, the mayor has increased the band D council tax precept by just under nine per cent in 2019-20, and London taxpayers have gone from paying £295 in 2015-16 to £332 in 2020-21 for the GLA.3,4 The City Hall Rich List details the employees working for the Greater London Authority, Transport for London, London Fire Brigade and Metropolitan Police whose total remuneration exceeds £100,000. Key findings ▪ There were at least 654 people employed by the GLA and its subsidiary bodies in 2018-19 who received more than £100,000. Of these, 154 received over £150,000 in total remuneration. In 2015-16, 653 received more than £100,000 and 147 employees collected over £150,000. ▪ In 2018-19 the body with the highest number of employees with remuneration in excess of £100,000 was Transport for London, with 518 employees.

  • 1 8 March 2017 Deputy Mayor for London, Joanne Mccartney, Joins
    8 March 2017 Deputy Mayor for London, Joanne McCartney, joins Lambeth primary school children for a mesmerizing performance of Romeo and Juliet Download images of the Deputy Mayor’s visit here Deputy Mayor for London, Joanne McCartney, today joined children from Archbishop Sumner Primary School in Lambeth to experience the National Theatre’s latest production for primary schools. This spring, more than 12,000 young people will see the NT’s tour for younger audiences of Romeo and Juliet and Macbeth, with these productions visiting 27 schools across the capital and playing on stage at the National Theatre and Stratford Circus. The NT is continuing its commitment to touring live theatre to schools across London with its latest production of Romeo and Juliet. The production is a modern twist on Shakespeare’s classic love story set against a vibrant urban backdrop with excitement, colour, dancing and live song. A company of eight present a contemporary celebration of Shakespeare's masterpiece suitable for children aged 8 – 12yrs. Lisa Burger, Executive Director at the National Theatre said: “We believe that it is important for children and young people of all ages to have access to high quality, engaging theatre and we are committed to giving young people access to inspirational theatre and embedding the arts as a vital part of the curriculum. In 2017, we are offering young people across London the opportunity to see Shakespeare productions in their primary and secondary schools as we realise that for many teachers, it is often the logistics of bringing a whole year group to the theatre which can be the barrier to young people accessing world-class theatre.

  • Lord-Pearsons-Letter-Of-Complaint-To
    COMPLAINT: COVERAGE BY “TODAY”, SINCE THE WILSON REPORT, OF THE CASE FOR THE UK TO WITHDRAW FROM THE EU. BACKGROUND The 2005 Wilson Report into the BBC’s coverage of EU affairs was the Corporation’s first published independent analysis of its output. Its committee of inquiry was chaired by Lord Wilson of Dinton, formerly Cabinet Secretary and Head of the Civil Service. This complaint is that the BBC has not delivered the improvements it promised in its response to that report, of its coverage of EU affairs. This applies particularly to the debate about the UK’s withdrawal from the EU. The Wilson Report was published in January 2005. It was critical of parts of the relevant output. It said: …we do think there is a serious problem. Although the BBC wishes to be impartial in its news coverage of the EU it is not succeeding. Whatever the intention, nobody thinks the outcome is impartial. There is strong disagreement about the net balance but all parties show remarkable unity in identifying the elements of the problem. Sometimes being attacked from all sides is a sign that an organisation is getting it right. That is not so here. It is a sign that the BBC is getting it wrong, and our main conclusion is that urgent action is required to put this right. The problem can be summarised under a number of headings which we analyse below.1 Institutional mindset. Giving the audience the information it needs to make up its own mind is a proper and important role for the BBC and one which it must carry out.

The pressures of aspiring to government necessitate organisational structures resembling those of mainstream parties, while this aspiration challenges APE parties because they differ not just in terms of their policy profiles, but also in their more ‘unorthodox’ organisational make-up, inextricably linked to their electoral appeal.

  • (7.00 Pm) PEOPLE's QUESTION TIME the CHAIRMAN
    Thursday 3 March 2016 (7.00 pm) PEOPLE'S QUESTION TIME THE CHAIRMAN: Right then, good evening everybody. Welcome to the 32nd People's Question Time, which is actually Boris's 16th and his last Question Time, so a momentous occasion tonight. Delighted we are holding it in Croydon. I am honoured to be the GLA member for Croydon and Sutton. I think it's absolutely fantastic that we are marking this evening in this wonderful building, the Fairfield Halls, subject to some controversy, I think that's all I'll say about that for the best for the moment. But it's great that it's in Croydon, and we are all aware that Croydon is really going places. I've been banging on probably too much in the last eight years, boring my colleagues to death about the wonderful things happening in Croydon -- and Sutton, of course, we mustn't forget Sutton. And it's great that we're here tonight for People's Question Time. So, again, I am Steve O'Connell, GLA member for Croydon and Sutton. Tonight I'd like again to thank Boris, to thank the Assembly, to thank the Chair of the Assembly, Jennette Arnold, who will speak to you in a minute about coming here tonight to Croydon in our famous Fairfield Halls. I've got a few brief announcements, we've got a very busy evening 1 in front of us. Why are we here tonight on a cold, or perhaps not so cold, early March evening? The Mayor and the Assembly are here to improve the life and lives for Londoners and the London businesses and to make London a better place.
