I'm sure I've heard of her before somewhere, can't think why or where. General election candidate in North Herefordshire, but also a specialist and academic in international aid. Though possibly you may have confused her with Ellie Reeves? I did originally wonder if I had, strangely enough, but it's the surname that seems familiar. Must be my mind playing tricks on me. I'm now thinking of MC Tunes, of Only Rhyme That Bites infamy. |

well talking about the 60's, not nice some of the things going on, kids from the council home earning a bit of pocket money. Nothing new under the sun. |

Struggling to read that tbh Well it looks like the SNP, Con and Lib Dems were neck and neck, but with Cons just second and Lib Dems just third. When the Lib Dems were eliminated their votes went mainly Con who therefore won. If the Lib Dems had been second on first prefs, no doubt they would have won.. (depending on where the minor Party votes like Labour went...) |

AV as there's one vacancy to be filled. If there was more than one (as there will be when the entire council is up for election), it would be STV. |

Stockton Lab 727 Con 409 Ind 156 Lib Dem 37 Congrats Cllr oldwarhorse Thanks very much. Increased turnout on 2016 by-election. Increased share too. We won every box and the PVs but the Indy guy did well in the Parkfield box where he lives. I have 18 months to work on those voters and bring them back as they would otherwise all be Labour. Delighted with such small number of spoilt votes. |

Perth City South, another great result for the Conservatives (bear in mind the SNP were a good bit ahead here at the GE)! SNP 32.1 (+6.4) Con 31.2 (+6.0) LD 28.8 (-5.9) Lab 5.7 (-0.7) Grn 1.8 (-1.3) Turnout: 43.1% Con win on 6th stage Loss of the personal vote of Willie Wilson seems to have been the main factor in the swing away from Lib Dem in local terms. No doubt there was an enormous swing to Lib Dem since the General Election making interpretation of the Con Vs SNP performance difficult, but considering the circumstances of the by-election the Cons did well |

Strong Conservative result in Perth. Still think they could win next time.

Grn 45.3% (+13.9) Con 28.8% (-39.8) LD 24.1% Lab 1.8% Minus 39.8%! Bloody hell. You might have expected the Lib Dem to get badly squeezed here with no candidate last time and with what was obviously a strong Green challenge. Instead it looks as though the Lib Dem made a big hole in the soft Tory vote, leaving the Greens with an easy win. This was a Jigger nightmare result! |

Iooking at the blurry blue screen the Indy is clearly in last place behind the Green but if the other percentages were right it leaves only 0.4 for the Indy and that looks a bit low. |

The text at the top says "With 80% of the votes counted". Ah now you tell me that I can see it. I thought I had done pretty well to make it out at all given that my eyesight is still pretty restricted. Not impossible that 0.4 for the final result was correct then? |

Completely opposite fortunes in the Con v Green contests in Herefordshire and Stroud.

No doubt there was an enormous swing to Lib Dem since the General Election making interpretation of the Con Vs SNP performance difficult, but considering the circumstances of the by-election the Cons did well I would say this was a good result for the LibDems as that personal vote issue greatly exaggerated their strength here. I would say the Tories slightly underperformed, which may be down to what you discreetly call the circumstances of the by-election, but maybe kept manageable by having a female candidate. This left SNP able to just stay ahead on Ist preferences, but the real battle was the Con/LD one, which decided who would eventually win, and in the end the Tories did just enough. |

Interesting that on our prediction competition the two Green predictors, hempie and greenrobinhood, thought the Greens would win both of these, whereas a number of us thought they would only manage one. Picked the wrong one , unfortunately  |
