It seems like a night of strong results for us, apart from the one seat where we were starting from a close second! you guys were a clear second in Pennington as well though good point otherwise Ah true but I was more making a point about all the right swings in all the wrong places  |

Under the circumstances, maybe not all that surprising. I didn't expect them to hold the seat but to fall to 6th and just holding their deposit. That's Pasokification I am afraid that in Pembrokeshire voting on the basis of party politics is pretty alien to the culture in local elections. The result probably means very little. |

It's a bit difficult to describe Pembrokeshire politics in a way that doesn't open me and the mods to libel actions, but let's just say it has a history of extremely tight political control by a group of councillors who had no connection to any of the political parties. |

I'm not trying to extrapolate anything meaningful onto a widerset of results. Certainly we've seen some mad results in this part of the world. Just didn't expect the defending party to fight for their deposit |

The result in Birstall sticks out like a sore thumb with both Labour & the Tories well up & the LDs way down. Everywhere else apart from Coldharbour the LDs have enjoyed large increases (though without gaining any seats), and have squeezed Labour a bit; and everywhere else the Tories have done quite badly. It's absolutely correct to say that nothing can be gleaned from the result in Pembrokeshire though. tbf Labour were up by more than the Lib Dems in Lambeth |

For the benefit of @barnabymarder, and anybody else who has not been been paying attention: the reason why I wrote that we are still waiting for the results from Pembrokeshire and Maidstone is because we are still waiting for the results from Pembrokeshire and Maidstone. Those results have not yet been given anywhere in this thread, which I have read through carefully to double-check. There may be some people who already know those results, either in this forum or elsewhere on the Internet, but those two results have not yet been posted in this thread.
Everybody is, of course, fully aware of the fact that a dribbling patronising impertinent load of percentages does not constitute a result; the result of an election is a statement of the number of votes cast for each candidate.

Conservative HOLD. for John Loony's benefit That is most certainly not for my benefit. If you know what the result of the by-election was, then tell us what it is. If not, stop wasting my time. |

Good old Alex Wood Hall, spent many an hour there in the early 1990s. As anyone knows who arrives at Cambridge Station, it is the home of a famous university: Anglia Ruskin University which is based in Petersfield ward. Ah yes that's what I meant. Alex Wood Hall hasn't changed one bit - I canvassed from there in the 2015 general election since I was there to sing in a concert conducted by a friend of mine, at Newnham college. The Hall certainly has changed, and thank goodness. The old one was much longer, single storey, impossible to heat, decaying, and with a seldom-used library at one end. That contained some dross but a few quite valuable original Penguins. It was pulled down in the 1980s. One end of the site was sold for housing and the proceeds (plus a bit from the book sale and other funds) paid for the current hall and offices. My reflection on Petersfield as was is further up this thread. |

I planned to go to Birstall today but I wasn't very well. I could see Labour were putting in a lot of effort and so I think I might have done okay in the prediction comp for once. Charnwood was a Labour seat and council at one point. Charnwood has been a safe Conservative constituency since it was formed in 1997 and its majority has never been less than about 6,000. The council area is completely different in that it includes Loughborough - that's why Labour won control in very strong years in the past. Birstall is probably not Labour's weakest area in the district but it's certainly not normally an area of Labour strength - Thurmaston & one or 2 other areas tend to be a bit better. The Labour vote in Thurmaston has become stronger due to two main things- the hard work of the Knagg family, especially Janet and David, but perhaps even more than this the movement of the south Asian community along the Melton Road out of the city Leicester and across the boundary into Thurmaston. This is now spreading to the nearby areas of Syston and Birstall, so I would not be surprised to witness an increased Labour here over time.

Something for all of the Conservatives, Labour, Lib Dem’s and Greens to be pleased about amongst those results.
