No you didn't Pete, but somebody in the prediction competition did (they said UKIP would win the two Nottingham seats as well)

I take it that Cheshire East are counting the new Crewe Town Council votes tomorrow?

I take it that the Tories are awaiting the County Council elections with baited breath?

I take it that Cheshire East are counting the new Crewe Town Council votes tomorrow? I'm seeing tweets saying that it was a Labour clean sweep so it must have been overnight. Perhaps very late. Update: Here are the results. Closest appears to be a 47 vote margin over UKIP in North ward. |

Seems UKIP beat the Tories into 3rd nearly everywhere in Crewe... Isn't Crewe a Tory area?

Very strong Labour performance in Nottingham and solid in Knowsley. UKIP surprisingly good second places. The LDs are creeping up from their nadir without breaking through, but another set of dreadful results for the Conservatives (apart from Knowsley where they were maybe not as poor as expected).

Crewe and Nantwich was always a chalk and cheese seat, and remember it would have been Conservative in 1979. Practically everyone expected Gwyneth Dunwoody to lose the 1983 election. There was local talk that the boundaries had been fixed specifically to get rid of her, which may have helped her retain more of the vote which would otherwise have gone to the Alliance. Beginning then she acquired a large personal vote, which was helped by her high national profile.
It was not matched by a particularly effective local party, which had no great presence outside Crewe and tended to rely on the solid working class vote in the town. That vote was already atrophying in local elections long before Gwyneth Dunwoody's death showed it in a Parliamentary election.

UKIP very good everywhere they stood (except in Wollaton East, maybe not demographically appealing).
Labour performed well in Nottingham. Knowsley OK (good to hold the marginal ward). Mediocre in Wigan.
The worst for LibDems has passed. Now they are marginally up compared to lowest points reached when they entered the coalition. However, it was not enough to get back Prescot West and Wollaton East (even with the Tory vote collapsing).
Tories bad everywhere...oh well, polling 6% in Knowsley is actually decent for them.

The increases in the Tory shares in Knowsley were pretty much solely down to differential turnout, I would have thought. The LibDems were apparently quite optimistic of taking back Prescot W, so we have to be pleased about retaining our 100% record  |
