From the count in Abingdon this morning

One second place and many third places for the UKIP candidates in the Oxfordshire County Council elections. No seats won but we are snapping at their heels now !

Here is a summary of the results for the 15 UKIP candidates :

Dickie Bird : 263 votes, 3rd out of 5

John Brown : 406 votes, 2nd out of 5

Barbara Fairweather : 281 votes, 3rd out of 5

In these 15 divisions we have come in front of mostly Labour and Green candidates and also a couple of Liberal Democrats.

Its a huge advance on our local election performance in recent years and a great base on which to build for the future.

Congratulations to all.
