This is a win-win result for the Island but for Andrew to claim it as a victory for the OneWight campaign is stretching credulity to its limits. Throughout, that campaign was for one MP – probably because no-one ever thought we would get two without sharing one with the mainland. Anyone willing to bet against Andrew standing down at the next election – unable to face the… Read more »

Who will the Conservative Association adopt as their candidate for the new Consituency? My bet is that the short list will be very short indeed and then Islanders can realy use their votes to this Council and Government what they think opf the cuts. DP perhaps?

Correct for Turner to claim this a victory is ridiculous…they campaigned for one MP for the Island.

Lords voted an amendement yesterday ti increase the varience on the 76,000 by 5% to 7.5% which brings us even closer to qualifying for 2 MPs as a right

OneWight lost and andrew should apologise. He’s done a double ‘U’ turn. He and his pals never wanted two MPs for the IoW. Victory for TwoWight.

Absolutely. When I was accosted and refused to sign the OneWight petition because I preferred to campaign for 2 MPs, I was told ‘well you can’t – that isn’t going to happen’ and looked at in disgust.
This is a victory for those of us who for a year have said that two MPs is the only way!

I totally agree. I believe the Island needed two MPs whether thet were both on the Island or one from the mainland I wasnt fussed. The clue was in the name of the campign and when I spoke to someone asking for my signature, they said we were looking for one MP to represent the Island not two.

A victory for the Isle of Wight electorate but Andrew Turner’s claims are both hypocritical and ridiculous. He campaigned for “one Island – one MP”. When I spoke to him he was totally uninterested in two MP’s.
It has been left to a few individuals to speak up for fair representation on the Island.

Pugh would get elected – I have said it many times: This is Tory island.

Postal votes and the votes from all the nursing home residents see to that. It need sorting.
The old are very vunerable.

Matt
15, February 2011 11:30 am

Very good point actually-especially if he were standing in East Wight. I very much doubt that he could be council leader and parliamentary candidate at the same time-also his tantrums and behaviour would count very much against him!!
Personally, I don’t think he’d have the guts to stand on the IOW as MP.

Really great news. 2 PM’s is the best possible outcome with 1.5 coming second. Both being better than just 1.
This is a great leap forward for the island whose votes will then (in 2015) be fairly represented.

stig o'hara
15, February 2011 12:30 pm

I doubt Pugh has much chance as a prospective MP here and will run off to another constituency as soon as he can. The real worry is that the person who apparently craves the role of MP is apparently the Cabinet member for Transport, Edward Giles.

I think that Geoff Lumley should put himself forward as a candidate in the next General Election, he seems a caring Councillor who has a passion for the island and it’s residents.

It would be good to get a “yin and yang” political balance on the island instead of “one party” politics.

My vote goes to Geoff, what say you?

I agree and Mark Chiverton would also be an ideal candidate.

Pity they are both members of the Labour party and that has never been the flavour of the day on the IoW.

15, February 2011 2:06 pm

I don’t suppose we will go back to the old division of West Medine and East Medine because the consituencies will be based on population.
But it would be interesting if Andrew Turner had HMP Isle of Wight in his constituency as he just voted against prisoners having a vote.

Paul Miller

15, February 2011 7:01 pm

Of course ‘every vote counts’ in an AV election – because if the voter puts down all the preferences they are entitled then their vote has to be backing one or either of the two leading candidates at the final count. If you don’t understand that [see elections in Australia since 190something] I suggest you vote ‘don’t know’ on the ballot in May

I completely agree they should have pursued PR from the outset, but AV will retain the strengths of the current system, such as single-member constituencies and strengthen that relationship, but make sure that our true preferences are reflected in our elections. I still see PR as the favourable alternative but in its absence a vote for change will demonstrate our discontent with the current system and our… Read more »

I guess that in the end the government decided that the Island being under represented had nothing to do with the size of the electorate and everything to do with Turner being the MP.

The official figure is 110,000 but that doesn’t account for ‘unaccounted people of voting age’ i.e those who choose not to be on the lectroral roll for whatever reason.

The census running from March has specific instruction to update this figure which could easily lead to 136,000
