Election 2017 – St Andrews Hustings with Bath candidates

On Tuesday 23rd May, we welcomed pupils from Bathwick St Mary’s, St Mary’s and St Michael’s to join our Year 3, 4, 5 and 6 children to take part in hustings at St Swithin’s Church.
The children listened to candidates from the Green Party, Liberal Democrats, Labour and Conservative Party before asking questions and then voting.

And the results were…
95 votes to Labour, 47 to the Green Party, 11 to the Conservatives and 10 to the Liberal Democrat candidate!
Thank you to all of the candidates for coming along and helping to engage the children in the democratic process.
