That was always the danger of course if this one specific campaign was anywhere near effective, and it was fairly obvious that the Tory was going to win anyway so why not vote in such a way as might be noticed by the administration without actually requiring a win. Most of us weren't expecting a s effective a campaign as that, though. |

Gratifying set of results in the national circumstances for the Conservatives.
I can't say that I'm not surprised.
I was pretty sure that we'd suffer as a result of some difficulties at National level which a few of you may have noticed over the last two or three weeks. I thought even the postal votes would be affected, let alone polling station votes. Obviously I was wrong (again!). I'm pleased I didn't try the prediction competition for this week.

I think there is a pretty obvious major flaw in the percentage figures here. No Lib Dem in spite of a strongish third place finish, and yet the other five parties appear to add up to 100! |

The government is collapsing, yet something is preventing Conservative voters from even having a mild flirt with Labour at the local level. |

Perusing their Wikipedia article reveals that they had a "Callum" amongst their list candidates for the 2016 Scottish elections. Normally a man's name. (also an ambiguous "Lee") And their 2018 steering committee election results feature a couple of men (neither of whom got elected) : Is it me or are they using FPTP for internal elections? Given that the WEP often appears on lists of election system change supporters, will we be hearing anything about their own use as a reason or will it be as ignored as Ukip's? |

I wonder whether Datchet will be the high water mark for the National Flood Prevention Party!

Best Conservative result for a while- what happened in Enfield? the MPs issues?
Edmonton Labour offered a not very generous tweet congratulating the Tory winner but then commiserating with the better candidate on his loss, and saying that the Labour council will continue to protect the people of the ward from Tory cuts.

The National Flood Prevention Party candidate regularly stands in the next-door ward to Datchet and does very well, so his doing well here shouldn't be a surprise. ZAck Polanski, the Green candidate for Lancaster Gate, was in the Lib Dems two years ago. He went for the Lib Dem nomination in the Richmond Park by-election, didn't get it, and by all accounts didn't take it well. There's an interesting comments thread on ElectionMapsUK 's Twitter to the effect that Labour didn't win Bush Hill Park because they weren't left-wing enough... And welcome to the forum ElectionMapsUK ! |

If you get a result like Bush Hill Park, there's usually going to be a local reason for it. Something the Labour council has done has very much got up the noses of local residents, or the council is generally very unpopular. It's noteworthy that Labour's result in the May elections in that ward was one of their weakest ones in the borough. Zack was rather over-ambitious in hoping to get nominated for Richmond Park. He really likes standing in elections. (A reminder to those who don't know, we are related.) I didn't spot anyone from the Green Party at the count. Or indeed during the election. It is a bit like someone who declares themselves a big fan of opera, who keeps buying tickets to Covent Garden but doesn't ever actually go to watch the productions. |

Apart from the Enfield result, and a strong showing by the Flood man (which presumably is from being known locally), what is most remarkable about all these results is the complete lack of any movement between the main parties. It is almost as if nothing has happened in the last year.
