York Green Party leader Andy D’Agorne was until this election deputy leader of City of York Council.

Andy had been a councillor working for York for 20 years. Here, he reflects on the Blue Badge row, the national factors that affected voting, and what he saw as negative campaigning both in York and nationally by Labour.
