Respect gain a third seat in Sparkbrook, Birmingham

Meltdown for New Labour, victory for Respect (and London still to come)!

In a fantastic result Respect took a third seat in Birmingham Sparkbrook with a majority of 432 and just under 43% of the vote.

Elsewhere there were other good results with 25% of the vote in Springfield and third place and 15% of the vote in Manchester Cheetham Hill and also third place.

There was also a third place in Aston where Respect took 20% of the vote.

A full results service and analysis will come later when we get the London results. Congratulations from the Respect Supporters Blog and all members to everyone who stood for Respect and to everyone who campaigned so hard.

We now have three Respect Councillors on Birmingham City Council!
