Some evidence for my theory that the demise of UKIP is good news for the LDs Though taking the general point, not quite sure that is the case here. Most of our increase, IMO, came direct from the Tories. I'd prefer that tbh, I'd be worried of we were simply picking up protest voters who are against everyone and don't care if they vote for us, UKIP or Green. But I don't mean just direct transfers from UKIP, I mean a little bit of just getting ourselves one level higher in the final table (with resulting better profile) but mainly a general climate of "the way the wind is blowing". Strong UKIP sends a signal that the wind is in the sails of people to the right of the Tories, demoralising our potential voters into staying at home, or causing them to vote Labour to keep Conservatives/UKIP out, or even Conservative to keep UKIP out. |

Not sure why ... Tamworth is usually one of the very quickest to declare results on a regular May local election night.

The second Labour councillor for Stanley who lives three miles away in Horbury. |

Are the grapes sourer in Outwood than in Wakefield West?

Lab 48.6% (+5.3) LD 26.6% (+21.0) Con 16.3% (-0.9) UKIP 6.3% (-19.2) Grn 2.2% (-3.1) Some evidence for my theory that the demise of UKIP is good news for the LDs It's certainly likely to be in Sheffield, where it gives the Lib Dems an opportunity to re-establish themselves as the not-Labour option in the east and north of the city. They were never likely to win Beighton, which wasn't a ward where they'd challenged before, but I wouldn't be at all surprised to see the Lib Dems winning the Ecclesfield and Stocksbridge wards again in the next few years. ... and I think that is a poor result for the Tories. As I said before, this was a ward where they'd actually been not that far behind in the past, coming ahead of the Lib Dems in 2008 when it definitely was the Lib Dems who were the not-Labour option almost everywhere in the city. |

I believe the Conservatives would win it if it was in NE Derbyshire. |

Demise of UKIP doesn't seem to have done the Lib Dems any good in Warrington... No. Boo! A good result for jigger, this one. Still, a relatively small shift either way compared to Beighton. Getting over 15% keeps us in the game and UKIP getting less than 5% makes them start to look out of it. Our game is three-party politics [/b], not two-parry or four-party... [/quote] Interesting to hear that from someone living in Stroud!  |

You have re-inherited the dustbin vote from UKIP, just as they did from you. Let's face it, this cannot be seen as a positive vote for LD politics and Remain, it is merely a move of the 'I don't like Labour and Conservatives' to a new home. The politics of UKIP and the LDs are so different that the votes have nothing at all to do with policies! |

Horbury and Stanley are hardly quinoa and mushy peas either. I think you know this anyway and may be being a tad partisan. Especially as your own party have para shoots going off all over W Yorkshire. More Para Handy and Grouse Shoots. |
