Why is Rotherham so slow? Andrew did imply in his Preview that both Wards were closer to Sheffield than to Rotherham, so maybe takes some time to get the ballot boxes in if they’re counting in Rotherham itself, and eight and seven candidates means a little more sorting, even on (probably) low turnouts. Well, they are closer to the SE boundary of Sheffield than the centre of Rotherham, that is for sure! |

One has to feel sorry for local candidates who have absolutely fuck-all to do with what goes on in central government and who may well feel just as strongly about it as the public, whose chance to take a council seat in a by-election just happens to coincide with the week when some cunt leaked some stuff...
Absolutely rotten luck for them. And a veritable gift horse for those who happen to benefit from these situations. It really does make a mockery of local government and how it is done.

I've been told from someone in the Old Bracknell Labour campaign that the Conservatives delivered final reminders to its own Tory supporters the night before...that listed the wrong address for the polling station

My mistake, one Labour, one LD gain I was a bit disappointed when I saw the Labour gain until I realised I was looking at the wrong "A" ward in Rotherham! |

Only up to a point though surely? Yes of course local candidates had nothing to do with the Number 10 piss up, but anyone who is prepared to stand on a Tory label after everything else that’s already happened (long before close of nominations) deserves very little sympathy IMHO. |

Tories were going to lose both Rotherham wards anyway and looking at the figures it does not look like national events affected them |

Surprised that the Rotherham Democratic Party did that poorly, I wasn't expecting much from them but that is really poor.

Don't shoot the messengers. Shoot the inept, corrupt, dishonest cabal of c**** in Downing St. They are the ones who made their bed. |

I don’t actually think those Rotherham results were that different to what might have been expected had they been held in October. They could have been worse for them. And it’s probably an awkward truth for some councillors, but most of their electoral fate is always determined by national events. Good councillors lose purely because of national events. Rubbish councillors get elected purely because of national events. |

I imagine they didn't bother to campaign, and I don't think they have much of a brand. Still, to get only 6 votes in Anston & Woodsetts is especially bad; did they need to get 10 signatures to stand, or is that still suspended? Also the previously successful Independent (Jepson) in Anston & Woodsetts did poorly. |

The Tories actually didn’t do too badly at all in Rotherham beneath the headline seat change. It’s just the highly fractured and volatile nature of the vote in Rotherham and the fact that Aughton & Swallownest was a split ward that did for them.
