7th December: Lab hold Enfield Highway, LibDem gain Newport. Welcome to the prediction thread. You are of course free to post your predictions on this thread in any form you chose. But if you look back over past months you should realise that the rules of this particular competition require you not just to say who will win but to predict the percentage vote for each candidate- a much more challenging requirement. I would encourage you to have a go- It's difficult but great fun as long as you don't take it too seriously. Prediction needs to be in by 9am on Thursday. |

Somewhat daunting to see the 100% prediction of a Lib Dem gain in Newport which has lately been the most Tory ward in the Barnstaple area, even if it was comfortably Lib Dem back in the 90s. Even the Beast was forecasting a Lib Dem gain, after the surprises of last week. My own feeling is that it is likely to be close and by no means a foregone conclusion, but if the more upbeat forecasts here prove to be right I will of course be delighted.

Also predicting a Lib Dem gain and with an exclusive quote from former North Devon MP Sir Nick Harvey look no further and do retweet:
