This is down to methodolgy again, similar to ocured in Croydon Central. South Ruislip was a three member ward and the NF fielded only one candidate. If you go to the Hillingdon website it will give you the figure you have repeated because it counts all the candidates of the major parties seperately. On that basis the Tories got 14.9% of the vote in South Ruislip (but won).
As people had three votes you are effectively counting the Conservative, Labour and Lib Dem vote three times.
You should probably prefer to be a bit more sure of your own facts/methodolgy if you are going to challenge people in quite such an aggresive manner.

I don’t have the figures available for South Ruislip ward or Harefield ward, but the only meaningful basis for calculating a percentage is the number of votes for the candidate divided by the number of ballot papers.

I’ve just checked the Hillingdon website, and it confirms that the figures for the National Front in 2006 were

South Ruislip: 561 out of 3549 = 15.8%
Harefield: 581 out of 2264 = 25.7%

Who is this merseymike to slag off Uxbridge? I was in Birkenhead earlier in the year;what a dump! Pete Whitehead is wrong if he thinks all of West Drayton qualifies for the description “shabby”.Certainly not the area round the Green(although no longer in this constituency).Harmondsworth is also very pretty and does not deserve to be under the third runway(which is not quite the done deal Joe Broughton seems to think in view of the growing opposition to Heathrow expansion).Labour might well have won this seat in the 1997 by-election if they hadn’t have kept David Williams(the candidate in the General Election) off the shortlist and parachuted in Andrew Slaughter.The Tories by contrast cleverly selected a well known local figure in John Randall who has held the seat ever since and certainly won’t lose it next time either.Although he doesn’t have a huge majority he has a reputation for being an excellent constituency MP and his oposition to the Iraq war has earned him a lot of respect.

Any possible compulsory purchases are a long way off.The “consultation” on Heathrow expansion ended some time ago and we are waiting for the Government to announce its decision.We all assume that they wish to proceed to the planning application stage.That this is likely to be highly controversial would be the understatement of the year.If Brown does push ahead it should do wonders for Randall’s majority if nothing else.

Thanks for the figures,Andy.John Randall can obviously sleep very easily in his bed.This looks set to be a very safe Conservative seat again compared with their 2000 majority in 2001.
