I would say looking at that list with the state of the major parties and the Brexiteers bashing each other over the head with spades, Amelia Womack might not be a bad bet to sneak in under the radar,if the odds were right, and if I was a betting hedgehog, which I'm not. LOL Good to see you honouring the centenary of Ian Smith birth. |

In 2017 only two parties, Lab and Con saved their deposits. In 2015 they were also joined by UKIP.
The Lib Dems last saved their deposit in 2010, Plaid have never saved their deposit (here or in Newport East) at a Westminister level.
Anyone want to guess how many of the 11 will save their deposit next month?

So: - No independents of any sort, let alone anyone affiliated with TIG. - No intentionally frivolous candidates. - Four candidates from UKIP and its splinters, counting the current incarnation of the SDP as such. No Official Monster Raving Loony, the first such example for many a decade. There have been literally billions of parliamentary by-elections in the last 30 or 40 years with no OMRLP candidate, and any psephologists or anorak with more than minus infinity braincells is obviously aware of that fact, so obviously you didn't mean to suggest or imply that there hadn't been any, in which case I'm struggling to work out what you did actually mean. |

It's had a bit of a makeover though, the red has changed to a pinky tone and the rosette appears fresh and new. What colour will people like andrewteale , yorkshireluke , ElectionMapsUK and Sibboleth use if they ever need to colour somewhere in in SDP colours in a map? I also wonder what proportion of people who vote for them realise that they're essentially a UKIP splinter group. Andrew Teale uses a golden-brown colour for the SDP. www.andrewteale.me.uk/leap/map/2011/110/ |

I also wonder what proportion of people who vote for them realise that they're essentially a UKIP splinter group. There are a handful of maps on LEAP including an SDP councillor. They got the same buff colour as the continuing Liberals.  (Incidentally that map needs redrawing at some point; when I originally drew it I didn't have the benefit of the original boundaries order.) |
