That is interesting, I can't remember seeing a seat where the cartogram so resembles the raw geography

Labour sources reported as saying Labour will get about 65% of the vote.
(This is normally what you say when you actually expect to get over 70%)

I'd expect a swing of about 15% from LD to Lab in Manchester Central.
Something like Lab 70%, LD 15%.

Don't know how reliable this is: "Word from Manchester Central is Tories so close to 5% mark that a re-count is being arranged. Lab win easy, LDs set to keep deposit."

OK drama NOT Tories saving their deposit .. It IS about there being just Five Votes between UKIP and Tories for Third. #ManchesterCentral I'm sure forum wishes are with fellow member Chris Cassidy in battle for 3rd. |

That isn't an acceptable reason for the result to be delayed. I hope the returning officer makes that clear. |
