Arbour regains Assembly seat
11:09pm Friday 2nd May 2008
Comments (8)Conservative Tony Arbour held his seat on the London Assembly - increasing his majority fivefold.
Mr Arbour has represented the South West constituency covering Richmond, Kingston and Hounslow, since 2000.
Analysts had earlier predicted that the South West seat could swing to the Lib Dems but the Tories maintained their hold on the constituency.

Will we see major cuts from Tony and Boris in their Mayoral slushfund?

'just a few votes'would seperate their candidate from the
'unpopular'Tory candidate. Those few votes turned out to be 26,928. Just proves you can NEVER trust Lib-Dems to get anything right! And as Tony Arbour received the votes of 76,913 local residents, I wonder how many he would have got if he was popular? Or will Susan Kramer admit she's got it totally wrong - as always.

Tom, London insults the SW London electorate by suggesting they only voted for Tony Arbour because of voting for Mayor Boris. There have been three SW London Assembly constituency elections since in 2000, Tony Arbour has been victorious in all three.
And Tom, London needs to get his facts straight, and not parrot inaccurate Lib Dem propaganda. Tony Arbour did not block Crossrail in this area the culprit was Alistair Darling back in 2004!

With the fiasco that is education in Kingston caused by the LibDems and Susan's 'fantastic support' of parents for a new school in North Kingston, they deserve to get the next bloody nose when we get a chance.
The council charges incredibly high council tax here but doesn't give us much in return... What does Susan give us? Re-zone Kingston station, save the view of St Paul's cathedral and stop shooting the deer in Richmond Park!! And this is from someone who wanted to be mayor of London and people considered for the leader of the LibDems.
