Results from the referendum for Lewisham and Greenwich, according to this page.
Interesting that Lewisham’s AV vote had a majority of just 745 people (out of 57,113 people who voted).
Name | Yes vote | Yes % | No vote | No % | Electorate | Turnout | Turnout % |
Lewisham | 28184 | 49.35 | 28929 | 50.65 | 172573 | 57113 | 33.09 |
Greenwich | 20618 | 39.16 | 32039 | 60.84 | 158603 | 52657 | 33.2 |
(I can’t get the national total percentages to add up correctly on their spreadsheet though… Can you?)
I am from Catford so am pleased to see Lewisham nearly voted yes. Shame about Greenwich but I am glad we voted yes more than the national as a whole.
Ho-hum. Electoral changed denied. Poor Clegg. :-(
Pretty pathetic turnout, although the lack of any other election the same day may be a reason. Perhaps gives the lie to claims that if the referendum had not clashed with the locals the YES camp would have done better
