Lack of Guernsey support for Latvian election winners
Rob Byrne
BBC News Online
The pro-Russian party that won the most votes in Latvia's general election on Saturday received little support in Guernsey.
Results posted on Facebook show The Harmony party received just 10 votes among the 292 cast at a polling station in St Peter Port.
Guernsey's Latvian community, thought to number about 1,000, were able to vote at Moores Hotel in the country's 13th national election, or Saeima.
Overall, The Harmony party polled 19% with the pro-EU For Development party taking 12% and two populist parties, the KPV LV and the New Conservatives winning 27% between them.
Guernsey voters overwhelmingly backed the KPV LV, with 146 votes.
In the past, parties have formed pacts to keep Harmony out of government.
Latvia shares a border with Russia and about a quarter of its 2.2 million population is Russian-speaking.

Hedgehogs remain a common sight in gardens and verges around Alderney.
The UK has seen hedgehogs decline by more than a third in the past 10 years but it's believed the Alderney population is stable.
The hedgehogs found there are thought to originate from only a handful of pairs - not being native to the island originally.
The hedgehogs were brought to the island as pets in the 1960s that subsequently either escaped or were released into the wild.

Calls for university to tackle 'skills gap' in Jersey
BBC Radio Jersey
There are new calls for a university in the Channel Islands to encourage more young people to stay and fill a "skills gap" which is increasing Jersey's population.

Island politicians say many talented young people leave the island to forge their careers elsewhere, before coming back later in life.
Jersey's council of ministers says it wants to open a "higher education centre of excellence", so young people can have their university experience closer to home.
According to the last census, in 2011, less than 13% of islanders were aged between 20 and 29. Whilst 40 to 49-year-olds made up more than 17% of the population of more than 105,000.
Ministers say the skills gap is forcing the public and private sectors to bring in workers from overseas, and closing it could help with concerns over the island's growing population.
