Oh FFS has it been declared already? I've got BBC News channel on, but they were blabbering on with an interview with someone from Ethiopia. I assumed that they would go to the declaration as soon as it was ready. I've only just got in from an evening out (about half an hour ago) so I hadn't yet had a chance to come on here and check how far the count was progressing. To be fair, I had assumed that it would be much later than 1am, so I wasn't really in a hurry.

Janet Daby MP mentioned Russell Profitt in her acceptance speech, which I thought was a nice touch.

P.S. I managed to find the Sky news website and re-wind a few minutes so I could watch it properly.

A ward breakdown would be interesting, to see if Labour carried them all.

We need to change the way we count votes, its too slow. If this was America we'd all be in bed by now. How hard can it be? #bored we have trialed other voting methods in local elections Who said anything about voting? He said counting. There are many faster methods of counting that don't have any change in the method of voting. |

The Lib Dem vote went up by 20% but they still don't look anywhere close to winning. In Witney in November 2016 the Lib Dem vote went up by 23% and the Lib Dems looked like potential challengers for the seat, but then their vote fell back by 10% at the general election eight months later and they finished in third.

By-elections are the Lib Dem's forte and they often do extremely well in them. It would be unwise to read anything much into this other than the LDs are good local campaigners and are able to again win the 'none of the above' vote which mostly went UKIP in by-elections during the 2010-2015 parliament. |

I think we should remember the leaked LD canvass returns which got these figures so very nearly exactly right and which were scoffed at as impossible by certain people on here... the campaign wasn't nearly long enough to go from a lost deposit to winning, and just about everyone on the LD side thought that and said so. This was a one-off by election and I would accept that it tells us very little about any future general election, but it does indicate a certain softness in the Labour vote and almost certainly on the Brexit issue.

It entirely sure that’s accurate. They’ve got the Lib Dem’s down as winning Kensington and Vauxhall for a start! |

If we counted our votes like America, then roughly 400-500 seats would be 'called' within about five minutes of the polls closing on general election nights. Much less fun. But look at all that lovely data we would have to play with afterwards. |

I think that's a cracking result, given what even the most optimistic Lib Dems were saying at the start of this thread (I predicted a Vauxhall result, which was not quite as good as this). I think it shows that we could beat Labour if a by election came up in one of our former urban seats.
