Sheringham North is a Lib Dem hold by 41 votes apparently Again much to be expected, a likely hold but without the big personal vote always going to be tighter- and just that little worry about North Norfolk with a GE on! |

That will do in the circumstances - I expect that the Tories had an unusually heavy campaign since it's a target seat for them in the GE. Will go to bed content.

That represents a swing of 11.5% from Con to Green Party, although this is rather a technical result, as the Con vote is up slightly.
A bigger swing from Independent and Labour to Green Party.

I recall Wallingford having a very active CND group back in the day, the organiser of which was an old style radical Liberal, so a Green win isn't as surprising as it might appear

Notable that the LDs explicitly pulled out in Oxfordshire for the Greens.
Does this possibly - glass half full time - possibly indicate that Unite to Remain might have a little more impact than suggested?

But surely a matter of close concern that in one of your very few remaining Westminster seats, in the last two weeks of a GE campaign, you can lose that proportion of vote share. Are you not campaigning as hard to save it as we are to win it? |

There have now been almost a hundred Council by-elections since May and Labour's vote has gone down in all but (I think) five. Why does anyone think they can win the General Election?

Why does anyone think they can win the General Election?Does anybody seriously think they can? Their only feasible objective on this occasion can be to deny the Conservatives a majority. |

In February 1974 the Labour vote in the general election went down by 6%. Labour formed the government after the election. |
