Think you guys need to change your posters now that the Reverend Timmy has gone..... I think that's a pre-leader Tim photo. Anyway he hasn't gone anywhere he's just not leader now plus, if you notice the source, it's an ALDC tweet not the national party and Tim is a former councillor... |

Just because its the ALDC that's no excuse you need to be promoting Vince 'cause lets face it he is the only asset you got now |

So, in Enfield Labour takes all of the BNP and UKIP vote!!!
Both the majors up and Greens down, UKIP and LDs no-shows. Good result for Labour.
Conservative poll holding up despite the chaos and near mutiny internally.

It was a multi vacancy contest in 2014 so comparisons need to be seen in that light. There was one UKIP candidate, one Green candidate and one BNP candidate. Some voters will have voted for all three of these. Clearly a large chunk of voters voted for the UKIP candidate and gave their other two votes to Conservative candidates (who polled 842, 788 and 547 votes - a hell of a difference between top and bottom). The electorate will have changed a fair bit in three and a half years. There is no meaningful way of discerning from the figures what actual number of people who voted UKIP in 2014 voted Labour this time (how many have moved out, how many didn't vote this time etc etc)

So the sole reason why the Beast would never vote UKIP or BNP is that they are too left wing for him. Says it all really. |

Well apart from economics, there's no point supporting a party that is a fringe movement and will win a couple of seats under FPTP in the best of times, especially since I live in a marginal seat. |

There is no meaningful way of discerning from the figures what actual number of people who voted UKIP in 2014 voted Labour this time (how many have moved out, how many didn't vote this time etc etc) In 2014 there were 3,498 valid ballot papers in Enfield Highway. The "top" Labour candidate secured 58.1% of these whilst the average Labour vote was 55.7%. Similarly the "top" Conservative candidate secured 24.1% whilst the average was 20.8% - with the third candidate a long way behind. In last night's by-election the Labour share of 69.8% was 11.7% / 14.1% up on 2014 with the Conservative share likewise up 2.6% / 5.9% giving a swing of 4½% / 4% - somewhat lower than the method used in the tables above. |

Yes, the same sort of setup has exaggerated the apparent swing to the Tories in a few byelections in their "safe" areas recently. |

Tp be fair, Enfield North has been trending Labour for quite some time.
On current boundaries the seat would likely have been a Conservative gain in 2001 given that it excludes Ponders End which was the strongest Labour area in the 1997-2010 version of the seat.
The lacklustre Tory majority on these highly favourable boundaries in 2010 tells you something.
As it stands, I think Enfield North will likely go the way of Edmonton long-term.

I wouldn't draw too much from the recent by-elections in Croydon and Enfield.
The Devonshire contest was interesting though given the swing to the LDs in North Devon in June.

If they want the gay vote they should include a photo of Cllr. Carl Cashman of Knowsley..... |

Indeed not.....though I like the artwork. LD Carl is decorative in different ways (and no, I'm not going to post a pic - if anyone wants to perve over him, then you'll just have to do a google image search |

Possibly more than they think, but I'm not sure what contribution is made to this board (except for cluttering it up) by individuals reciting their conviction that A, B or C is facing extinction/ a triumphant future. Just don't see the point. |
