Ethandune turnout 38.01%. Not far short of the regular election, which was 41%. |

Now that the prediction competition has closed 😀, some thoughts on the by election in Vivary Ward in Taunton today. Vivary Ward is due South of Taunton Town Centre and was a new ward created for this years elections to the new council ( the boundaries were amended following my submission to the LGBCE) It stretches from the end of the high street right out to the edge of town at the M5 and is named after Vivary Park, the main park in Taunton. It’s basically a very middle class area. It’s Includes Kings College, former school of Jos Buttler, England cricketer and Geoffrey Cox MP. When I previewed the wards of the new council before the elections I put this as safe Conservative, and is indeed one of the 3 new wards in Taunton town that the Conservatives should usually win. This was reflected by Danny Wedderkopp who was a sitting Lib Dem councillor in another part of Taunton and who was the loser in a Lib Dem game of selection musical chairs for the new wards standing here in May. The Lib Dem’s didn’t bother with a 2nd candidate and it was probably the biggest Lib Dem surprise of the night ( including to themselves) to top the poll. I certainly knew that the Conservative administration was unpopular but I didn’t realise how unpopular! The second councillor elected was Conservative Catherine Herbert, She had served the area for 12 years, but shortly after her reelection resigned saying, it’s nothing to do with Boris, it’s nothing to do with Brexit, it’s about me, I want my life back So a tricky defence for the Conservatives in the circumstances. Some of the disillusionment with the previous administration will have gone now but the New Lib Dem administration is getting a very supportive run in the local press. There are 5 candidates. The Conservative and Lib Dem candidates both live on the other side of Taunton and have both never stood in a local election before. The Green candidate lives a long way away in the West Somerset countryside. The Labour candidate lives in the ward and contested the ward in May. There is also an Independent, Neil Rudram who lives in the ward and is a retired vet who had a practice in Taunton town centre. Vets make good candidates. As long as they're properly vetted. |

The Liverpool post by Joe Anderson may just be from observing the boxes?

Shame not to knock the Libs into third, but the Labour slide is significant.

LAB HOLD Thorniewood (North Lanarkshire) That was far from guaranteed. North Lanarkshire appears to be a particularly resilient area for Labour. 3/3 by-elections wins this session. |

You wait all evening for a result and not only do three turn up all at once, but they're all the same..
