Many congratulations to Caroline, and many commiserations to our Euro No. 2 Cllr Keith Taylor, both of whom fought a hard campaign for the Green Euro vote in South East England.
Above all many thanks to all the candidates, and activists in Brighton & Hove and the South East (and friends from beyond), for putting in such a massive amount of graft over the past few months on the Euro trail - the results speak for themselves, and we're now in an unprecedented position to win Brighton Pavilion and elect Caroline Lucas as Westminster's first Green MP.
Well done all!

Commiserations too to Cllr Rupert Read (Eastern Region), and Cllr Ricky Knight (South West Region) for narrow misses. Am waiting on tenterhooks now for Peter Cranie's result in the North West...
