What was turnout in Bush Hill Park? Struggling to locate it here! 27.9% Thanks! I wonder how the by-election in my borough Bromley next week will compare with these 2 almost identical turnouts in Westminster and Enfield?

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? And some parties support FPTP for Westminster elections but use a different voting method internally. I don't see any inconsistency personally. The system change campaigners make so much of the latter's use (even telling lies about systems) yet are curiously silent even when trumpeting support from Ukip and WEP.

A coda to the Upton ward byelection: it seems the Labour candidate exceeded the maximum election expenses. She and the agent have applied for relief. The decision is tomorrow.

I don't think that comment was specific to Enfield. So my answer is Magic Grandad. In actual fact, it is not usual for large numbers of habitual Tory voters to cross straight over to Labour - the mid 1990s were an exception there, not the norm. Of course, there used to be another party that was a reliable haven for Tories who might be feeling a bit browned off. What happened there?Is it fair to say that this comment hasn't aged well?
