Map of Results

The 2018 Portsmouth City Council election will take place on Thursday 3 May 2018 to elect members of Portsmouth City Council

Please see above map of results and this link shows the map of wards - https://www.portsmouth.gov.uk/ext/documents-external/cou-basic-ward-map.pdf

Please clearly identify any mistakes on the above map before re-editing - happy to make changes if I am wrong but I believe my map is correct! Guyb123321 (talk) 22:17, 7 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Further see the results of the 2015, 2016 and 2018 results for PCC:

2015 results map
2016 results map
2018 results map

As you can see St Thomas has a Conservative in 2015, and a Lib Dem in 2016 and 2018 - as per https://democracy.portsmouth.gov.uk/mgMemberIndex.aspx?FN=WARD&VW=LIST&PIC=0 St Thomas has one Conservative and two Liberal Democrats

St Jude has Labour, Conservative and Lib Dem colours on this map in each years - which correctly corresponds to this https://democracy.portsmouth.gov.uk/mgMemberIndex.aspx?FN=WARD&VW=LIST&PIC=0 Guyb123321 (talk) 22:22, 7 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I keep removing it because the map is wrong. That's it. As I keep repeatedly saying in the edit summaries. It's a really simple fix, and as I have said repeatedly in the edit summary when removing it all you gotta do is swap the results of the wards of St Jude and St Thomas, and that's it it's fine and I won't touch it. As you note, St Thomas went Lib Dem in 2018. Labour won St Jude this same year. That's all that's wrong with the map, that's all that has ever been wrong with the map, and indeed it is actually what you're also saying. I hope this is clear.

Hi, please look at my map though, St Thomas is the ward that encompasses Old Portsmouth (see https://www.portsmouth.gov.uk/ext/documents-external/cou-basic-ward-map.pdf) and is clearly Lib Dem on my map, St Jude to the right of St Thomas, is clearly Labour on my map Guyb123321 (talk) 22:29, 31 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Well there's egg on my face. Sincerest apologies, I clearly got it wrong. BitterGiant (talk) 19:29, 1 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, thank you for apologising Guyb123321 (talk) 18:39, 4 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
