European Election Results 2009

Elections to the European Parliament took place last Thursday, and 2095 votes were cast in the City of London. It was a good night for the Conservatives, as they scored 32.4 % of the vote (628) - over twice as much as Labour who received 16% (336).

Labour were edged into third by the second place Lib Dems who gained 19% with their 399 votes.

The Greens came fourth with 14.6% (305) and UKIP gained a 8.8% share - far lower than their national average. The controversial British National Party mustered only 2.2% from voters in the Square Mile.
