Godolphin’s Mock Election has been won by the Conservative Party. However, they did not win a clear majority and so have formed a coalition with the Green Party. The Conservatives, the Green Party and the Monster Raving Looney party secured most of the votes – 77.3% between them.
Voting turnout was higher than the national elections with an overall school community showing 73% but some year groups as high as 96% and 91% and staff turnout a creditable 91%. Despite being in the middle of their exams, 52% of the Fifth Years turned out to vote which is to be highly commended.
Congratulations to the Student Union for organising and managing an informative and fun election campaign which included a live TV debate (see Godolphin’s You Tube Channel) attended by all seven party leaders.
