Post Election Thanks

To all our supporters

Thanks for all your hard work and time spent over the last few weeks, and particularly on election day itself. At present we are sitting in fifth place on the primary vote count, with 11% of the votes counted so far. It's too hard to tell if we are going to improve upon this or not as there are still the pre-poll votes to count before we move into considerations of preferences, and whether voters have actually followed their respective party preference suggestions or simply voted for their chosen candidate alone.

What I can tell you is that with some 640 votes in the Wingala polling booth we scored the highest individual booth score for the whole of B Ward, and the second highest for the entire Warringah area! Not bad for a campaign that only started about 6 weeks ago, and on a shoe-string budget.

There are so many people that I would like to thank for their input in achieving the level of success that we have so far, and I hope to have the opportunity to do that personally over time, but I will just make a special mention of Tony Recsei, the President of SOS NSW, and his wife Greta, who went out of their way to travel over from Warrawee to spend the whole of election day at a polling booth in Manly Vale. Thank you both for your support.

For the time being we can only sit back and await the process of vote counting and preference allocation to be followed through, and maybe cross our fingers! Even if we do not achieve a Councillor position we have managed to raise the issues on our platform to a level where the other parties have had to take them on board and commit to a position to follow if elected. Be assured that this is only the beginning for Save Our Suburbs Warringah, and whether we are successful this time or not we will certainly continue to be active in the Warringah community.
