We took five out of a possible six seats in Burnley, which we had secretly wished for, but never truly expected (well done Margaret for sneaking Rural under the radar), and I almost won the Burnley West and Padiham seat, which I never thought I would come close to winning. I came 3rd, but it was a very respectible 3rd place, only 228 votes off the BNP who unfortunately took the seat, for their first County seat in Lancashire.

I think we proved that Labour are dead in Burnley, and the fight now turns to getting rid of “Makeover Kitty”, and 2010′s Local Elections, where, I am sure, we will make even more gains.
