How many Communists does it take to stand in a #devonelection?

By PRSD, on Wednesday, May 13, 2009

Just the one Communist is standing in the Devon County Council elections, and if you want to vote for him, you need to be registered in Barnstaple, where the red flag continues to fly (over some beaches at least). In all there are 284 committed souls of various denominations (we presume) fighting it out for the 62 seats, and we’re dull enough to have counted them all.

We say counted, we meant totted up on the back of an envelope in a haphazard kinda way, but who else is gonna do it?

So what’s the line up for June 4? The Conservatives and Lib Dems are fielding 62 candidates; Labour 56; the Greens 42, UKIP 33; Independent 13, the BNP 9 and the Liberal Party 6. Oh, and there are two fellas who have no allegiance, they aren’t even Independent. That should make 286 (including the invisible UKIP candidate).

For you to be as dull as us, here’s the list, we compiled it from info on the Devon County Council site.
