C 725, Ukip 556, Lab 432, Lib Dem 419, Moorlands Democratic Alliance 336, Ind 192. (June 2009 - Ukip 1766, C 1355, Lib Dem 905, Lab 470, Green 323).
On those figures, UKIP came in 2nd and got 25% of the vote!
| Party | Votes | % | |
| C | 725 | 32.5 | |
| LD | 419 | 18.8 | |
| UKIP | 556 | 25.0 | |
| MDA | 336 | 15.1 | |
| Ind | 192 | 8.6 | |

Consider this: the Lib Dems took only 23% of the vote at the GE - and they're practically running the country!

Wow! Pretty impressive! Shame about the Lib Dems coming 2nd though. I thought they were finished.
Oh, I got it wrong. UKIP were second. Brilliant!
:)
Staffs is a Labour area (generally) too!
It's astonishing that UK doesn't tend to publish these results on its website.
No, Staffordshire isn't generally Labour. Stoke on Trent, the largest city is, and the south nearer Birmingham, but other parts of the county, like Leek, are rural and typical 'shire' county in political terms.
Thanks, Woodsey. Makes sense.
