You feel old when your university contemporaries retire from politics.

You feel old when your university contemporaries retire from politics. The tipping point for me was when not only the son of Joe Handford (who I had served alongside on the council) turned up as a candidate, but his grandson stood as a candidate. |

Just over a thousand postal votes cast from what I gather, and around 10% of voters turning up on the day - the local weather is wicked and the pavements are all treacherous with ice and snow (Surrey never grits the roads or pavements...)
A very low turnout of ~20% and a comfortable Tory win predicted.

Actually rather better than that if you factor in the weather, low turnout, vote share that was what, 40%+? postal votes where I imagine the Tories got the biggest share. I would not be at all surprised if that didn't mean a Lib Dem majority among those voting in person. Not to mention it was almost exactly my prediction on the competition  |

I reckon with half a chance at a proper campaign and a bit better weather the Lib Dems would have had that...
