CLP Nominations[edit source]

God help me for knowing this, but the "118" number is not actually CLP nominations.

It's all supporting nominations, which means CLPs + unions and other affiliated organisations + individual MEP nominations.

Any metric that counts individual MEP nominations but not individual MP nominations is obviously utter bullshit. The Cooper campaign keeps tweeting those numbers as if they were the CLP nominations because it's the only metric in which Yvette is ahead of Andy, but they're idiotic and misleading. So I'm going to put up the real CLP counts instead. Kainosite (talk) 17:23, 1 August 2015 (UTC)

Fair play. I got the numbers from Paul Waugh this morning but it looks like he's since corrected them. My bad! Tinypurpleteacup (talk) 17:35, 1 August 2015 (UTC)
No worries. People on the Yvette campaign are disseminating the supporting nomination stats in way that's deliberately misleading. They probably tricked Paul Waugh too- there would be no way to catch the error unless you were a massive nerd obsessively refreshing Stephen Bush's Twitter feed happened to stumble across the correction.
