Ranelagh Mock Election
This week six students have been representing four of the major political parties, and events this week have included hustings to the whole school and ‘Ask the Candidates’ with the Sixth Form. All students received their ballot papers on Thursday and voted, with each of the constituencies (tutor groups) appointing a seat. Across the school there are 39 constituencies, meaning that a party needed to win at least 20 constituencies to secure an overall majority. As no one party secured an overall majority, we have a hung parliament! Thank you and well done to all who have been involved, particularly to Henry, Bekah, Hannah, Dan, Hermione, and Katie who all stepped up to the political podium displaying their power, love, and self-control.
The overall total percentage of votes cast for each party across the school were:
Conservative 32%
Liberal Democrat 29%
Labour 25%
Green 14%
Total number of constituencies won:
Labour 10
Green 0
Conservative 19
