Andrew, could you please clarify Green and Lib Dem in Braunton East?
I mean it is fairly obvious when you look at it but at first I wondered if the progressive alliance had been at work with some Green Lib Dems!

Braunton East - Derrick Spear is the former district councillor for the ward. Felix Milton is the son of the Conservative candidate for North Devon in the 2010 general election. Mark Cann has stood for Labour in North Devon at the last 4 general elections. And everyone involved in the TUSC campaign in 2015 is now a Labour supporter.

Well, we didn't think we'd get 54 and a healthy total in the parish election), so if it exceeds expectations like that, I'll be pleased! |

I mean it is fairly obvious when you look at it but at first I wondered if the progressive alliance had been at work with some Green Lib Dems! Andrew may be too busy to give you the answer you have presumably worked out for yourself, i.e it should have read Con 802/769, LD 766/764. Gr 467/348, etc - thanks to Andrew ( I checked it back on LEAP!) Incidentally that means the Con lead over the top Lib Dem was just 3 votes, and said LibDem is the canfidate this rime, |

Had a slightly sad/nostalgic moment when I looked at this preview and thought "I reckon Mark Senior could predict LD gains in all of those except Egremont."

Thanks to you and YellowPeril Andrew. I actually assumed the Greens had got ahead of the Lib Dems.. Interesting that the 2015 Lib Dem votes are so close together... I am going to assume Tory/TUSC cross-voting since the idea amuses me! i would imagine the N Devon Lib Dems will be hopeful of a gain |

I have to confess chances in this by-election are not enhanced by the little matter of not fielding a candidate. Haven't yet finalised my predictions for this week but at first draft I really fancy both Braunton and Dukes but think the two Beaconsfield seats are probably beyond us, ditto Aldwick. |

I think you will win Braunton East as well, fairly handily. |

Interestingly in Ilfracombe West in May 2015 there was a lot of UKIP/TUSC crossover. |

An..... interesting opinion yes I have been looking back through the old records as far as 1973 and see that there is very little Lib activity of any sort - a couple of single Alliance candidates in the eighties in Egremont North and coming bottom of the poll, while Egremont South was entirely jiggered, in what has now become the standard expression for a Lab/Con duopoly, with Labour pretty firmly in control. So Egremont has never felt the effect of a proper Lib campaign, but I still felt it had the right sort of vibes when I was there. |

Tbh if we don't win Dukes when it's the former MP as the candidate I would begin to worry about the state of the party in general |

Have we all missed the byelection in Wandsworth this Thursday? edit - no, I read somewhere it was on the 2nd but clearly it is the 9th. Was getting a little over-excited there! my mistake! edit 2 -" somewhere " was actually LDV. My mistake was to believe LDV for a couple of minutes |

Beaconsfield has elected LibDem councillors before - but not for a while.
But there's no excuse for not running a Labour candidate in either by election. We could never win but we came second in the general election and should be standing even if it's just a paper candidate

The Arun and Copeland contests look very interesting. Hopefully we'll hold on in Sussex whilst building on our election successes in Cumbria.
