CEREDIGION Llanfarian EVANS, David Raymond (Liberal Democrat) 298 DEAKIN, Karen Joan (Plaid Cymru) 290 PARKER, Jack Kevin (Conservative) 30 Surprised they didnt ask for a recount given it was 8 votes....or maybe they did, as it wouldnt take very long to recount 600 votes I expect. |

It’s a ward where we’ve only made recent inroads (and the representation was presumably split?). I note the candidate choice which might have been awkward for some? |

Apparently I hallucinated David Heathcoat-Amory's 528-vote majority in Wells in 1997 despite actually living in the constituency at the time (I was too young to be able to vote) because according to the column, the Lib Dems actually gained it after all. Honestly, fancy including all that needless minutiae about the Two World Wars which far too many middle-aged men in this country still get tumescent about glorifying when they weren't even there, and then getting an important psephological fact regarding England's greatest county wrong. Come on, Teale: priorities in order here please! Er, and on the topic of this thread, do we have a detailed result from Worcester yet? |

While we're slagging off the greatest teal in the universe, surely that's the eastern edge of Swindon?  |

This is a very poor result for Labour, should have fairly comfortably held it if they wanted to win the constituency. This election was, in some ways, personal to the MP & Labour challenger, with the winner working in the MP's office v a candidate who changed party to fight alongside his main challenger due to being friends. I'd disagree with your comment on only just making inroads, there's always been a significant Labour vote in the southern part of Stratton based around the (now BMW) car body work plant. It's the addition to the parts the other side of the A419 that changed the dynamics of the ward & gave the only thumping majority when held at the same time as the general election. |

Are you saying you're actually a Lancastrian? |

Are you saying you're actually a Lancastrian? Haha, touché. One thing I can concede with the benefit of local knowledge is that, as an Old Alfredian, I remember that yes, we did indeed consider Hugh Sexey's School to have a peculiar name. |

What was the possible problem with the Labour candidate? See above: "In St Margaret & South Marston Joe Polson stood for the Lib Dems in Gorse Hill & Pinehurst in 21. His swapping to Labour isn't a shock as he's fairly close friends with the Labour PPC for Swindon North" 1. The party switch 2. The peripatetic candidate. Maybe irrelevant, which is why there's a question mark. |

Given the closeness of the result, such things *could* make a difference yes.

Late again this time - life is pretty hellish at the moment, I'm afraid. Very much the undercard this week, and like the parliamentary by elections, very much something for everyone.
Lab +41
Con +15
LDm +25
