Alan Lay is the county councillor for the Roman Bank and Peckover division, for those keeping track.

Barry Diggle stood in the January 2008 county council by election. That can't have been fun. could have been worse. I've just looked the results up and he finished second with 25.8% of the vote. For some reason the Lib Dems who had finished second in the county elections of 2005 with 40% of the vote didn't stand. So Labour - who hadn't stood in 2005 - got most of their vote, UKIP got 12.5% from nowhere and the Tory vote went up a bit too. |

That was the year that the Conservatives were already guaranteed a majority before the voting started.

That was the district result.... I was talking about the county results as he had been the candidate for the county byelection, and this time is the candidate for the district by election. Those 2007 elections were astonishing though. |

I can't believe nobody could get anyone to stand. you'd think a few paper candidates could have been rustled up by one of the other parties for the non contested wards.. shows how these things can happen even "now". And how quickly political control can change... |

A good result from a standing start but very disappointing to see the Cameroon hold. The dual collapse of Labour and LibDems by over 14% each brought a bit of joy coupled with surprise and seeing LibDems reduced to derisory 1.5% deep joy. Where do our Labour and LibDem friends think their vote went...and why? I am not prepared to be simplistic enough to think that is was all 100% to UKIP.

Swing not meaningful Note that the Conservative share of 48.1% is down only 2% compared to the September 2004 by-election

Not too surprising from UKIP perhaps given that the UKIP candidate is also the county councillor for the area. A decent result for them nonetheless. Good for us as well, we picked a good local candidate. Didn't expect the lib dem vote to drop that low! |
