WILTSHIRE Westbury North KING, Carole (Liberal Democrat) 488 CUNNINGHAM, Ian Charles Henderson (Independent) 231 PIAZZA, Antonio (Conservative) 140 RUSS, Jane Francesca (Labour) 57 MORLAND, Francis (Independent) 16 So, to continue the theme from much earlier in the thread, Carole King has proved that " You've got a friend " , or in her case, 487 of them ! In the rich tapestry (of rich and royal hue) of elections, sometimes candidates forget to vote for themselves.. |

Cut what out? And whom are you addressing? Apparently discussion of swing could cause a major diplomatic incident (so we had better tweet it instead, presumably) |

How did Gloucester vote in the big con, er, refferendwm? Over 58% to leave. I use EP14 and EP19 council-wide results to get a better feel for it using this googlesheet. For Gloucester council it yields 59.4% (Con & UKIP) and 52.5% (TBP & Con & UKIP) respectively. Compared to 49.7% vs 42.5% for the UK and 61.2% vs 48.8% for South West England For readers that can keep a secret, its also quite handy for some of the predictions. |

But of course, your broader point remains valid The council as a whole had boundary change, but I'll be honest I didn't have the time to check how affected, if at all, this ward was. yellowperil I'm sure could answer that... |

I have been chasing on this and this time not relying on memory, which I am finding more deficient than I realised! First, I was sure that there were boundary changes affecting this ward, but I think the changes I had in mind were the previous review, not this latest one, and after checking the maps carefully I can find no change at all between the boundaries of Downs North ward at any point in this century, Adjacent wards were changed out of all recognition but I have looked at the ward maps for here for 2003, 2007.2011, 2015 and 2019 and they appear identical. Second, Downs North includes the following polling districts: Molash, Shottenden, Old Wives Lees, Chilham, Godmersham , Crundale. Third, I will therefore include the results below for each election since 2003, to show just how the respective parties have fared: 2019:as listed by Tony 2015: Con 932(61.6%), Lab 291 (19.2%), Green 290 (19.2%) 2011: Con 580 (56.8%), AI 279 (27.3%), Green 162 (15.9%) 2007: Con 511(59.9%), Green 240(28.1%), LD 102 (12.0%) 2003: Con 599, LD 158(20.9%) I have to apologise for assuming the recent Lib Dem standing was more continuous than it was- I remembered Myrtle Butcher standing in 2003 and Len Micklewright in 2007 and totally missed the absence of a candidate in 2011 and 2015. Similarly the Green tradition of standing here was more established than I had given them credit. |

The idea that beating the Labour Party in East Sheen is a big issue for anyone is a bit laughable. East Sheen happens to be about one of the weakest wards for Labour in London. Out of 630 wards at the 2016 GLA elections, East Sheen had the 616th highest Labour vote on the London Assembly list (the best comparison for a pure party vote).

In the light of the East Sheen result, it seems very hard to envisage Zac Goldsmith retaining his seat. Seeing as he is likely to be a Cabinet member of the Johnson Government there must be a chance he goes to the Lords or tries to move to a safer seat at the next election.
