From all the candidates standing in Rotherham this year, a huge thank you to each and everyone of the 12,348 Rotherham voters who voted for our candidates at the elections this year.
We achieved with your help, a very respectable vote share of an average of 15.3% for our candidates, an excellent result overall with Rob Foulds receiving 30.2% share of the vote, depressing the Labour vote a significant feat in Rotherham this year and Mick Sylvester, not a member but a friend, managed a wonderful 30% vote share. Both of these would have given them victory in those Wards at any other election in the last 36 years!
We would also like to thank all those who have contributed to our success at this years elections, we are a group where we are greater than the sum of all the parts, each no more important than any other, so it would be inappropriate for us to identify them except for placing on record our debt of gratitude to Peter Thirlwall, to whom we owe, our very existence and inspiration. All Rotherham's people will come to appreciate the significance of Peter's achievement in helping to found our campaign.
Our conversation with the people of Rotherham has only just begun, over the next few months we will be out listening to your concerns and your views. Some of you will even join with us, as many have, during our campaigning. If you want to be a part of the future not the past then please feel free to contact us using the details on the left hand side or email us here.
