Leek West is a Labour Gain Lab 487 Con 370 LD 218 Ind 61 Spectacular result for Labour on a par with Rochester the other week. Tory lives some distance from Leek as did the Indo. That matters in Leek, LDm lives in the ward, Lab lives literally over the road from the ward. |

I should have made a guest appearance on the predictions thread - I thought it would be 55 25 15 5 in that order.

That matters in Leek, LDm lives in the ward, Lab lives literally over the road from the ward. And you can’t set foot in Leek without bumping in to Bill Cawley either serving behind the checkout in the supermarket (yes, he’s written a book “Tales From The Till”) or conducting his near weekly history walks. |

The Tories were one vote ahead on the first count in Ockendon.

Reminder that this is the Labour candidate who had to rapidly edit his Facebook page in the last week.

Wonder what we do about the prediction competition faults on a toin coss result ... it's looking like the monthly win could depend on it!

If there's a tie, the winner of the coin toss/straw drawing/picking of cards receives the Returning Officer's casting vote and is elected by a majority of one vote. That's the law.

On his Twitter feed he estimates her personally canvassed about 83% of the ward. |

It shouldn't make any difference - the faults are based on predicting the wrong winner. Whoever wins the coin toss wins the election. If you predicted they would win you don't get faults and if you didn't you do. |

I was thinking this myself, luckily no one will be affected as it's between Conservatives and Labour (who no one predicted to win). Not so. It makes a difference between those who predicted Conservative and those who went for Independent. Anyway, this probably should be for the Prediction thread. (And David, above, is probably right). |

The alternative would be to spend £10k on another election which probably wouldn't be popular with most voters.
