I don't really find the result of the 2006 borough council election interesting enough to justify the amount of space given to it, but I accept that this is just my personal taste, so I've left it in. However, the statement that Respect DIDN'T stand in that election seemed too trivial to keep, so I deleted it; there are lots of parties that didn't stand in that council election - surely we don't have to list them all?

- I can see how the political detail may seem somewhat arcane - I'm sure the neighbourhood's political representation in the borough council doesn't play any major role in its day-to-day life. :-) But to someone with an interest in local politics, the results of this particular ward are striking: it really makes the ward unique among all of London's 624 wards. When I was poring over the election results, Telegraph Hill's result was one of just a handful that stood out as constituting an extreme in the city.
- I'm no big fan of Militant/Trotskyite politics myself, but its contemporary success in this one ward as well as the record cumulative score for the parties left of the Lib-Dems are definitely elements of Telegraph Hill's profile that makes it different from any other London neighbourhood. The results table illustrates that.
- Of course I'm really glad however that you added some "beef" about the actual issues dominating local politics. Now the info is more rounded off for general interest, and not purely focused on just the statistical side of things anymore! And deleting the bit about Respect's absence seems fair enough.
