They're all either large electorates, or very rural, or combined polls, or late counting, or some combination of those four.

These good results and the Arsenal win have quite converted my view of the day. The Muscadet was good as well.

These results represent the equivalent of a very fine late season win by a tired Conservative team with a long injury list digging in and refusing to go down despite adversity low expectations and some unruly behaviour on various other pitches. Not desperate defences but far from many dire predictions made. They may have turned a corner as the absurd hoo-hah over parties and Covid recede from the general consciousness and East Europe concentrates minds. Johnson has had one of the more difficult periods of any PM post war. And yet they can still get out the vote and hold much of their core. Labour should be doing far far better at this stage of the cycle and I attribute their failure to the utter madness of the PLP smoothing the way for a Corbyn leadership.

Labour should be doing far far better at this stage of the cycle and I attribute their failure to the utter madness of the PLP smoothing the way for a Corbyn leadership. Well, to a degree... 1. This week (Wednesday and Thursday) was, barring two seats which Labour actually gained, in pretty poor territory for the party. I'd agree that in the lead up to 1997 even seeming deserts produced some red roses. We are clearly not in that space, and I'm not sure anyone is suggesting we are. 2. As a former councillor I will say again that these are local elections. Thankfully (as I was always unhappy with people who ignored these things) a proportion of the electorate, particularly important in low turnout contests, have regard for local stuff - the candidates, where they live, the campaigns by the parties (we don't know how seriously some of these contests were taken), the reputation of the local council, the circumstances of the seat becoming vacant (death, scandal, non-attendance, party bust-up). I'm sensing some renewed enthusiasm from you for the Tories? |

I am in love with the firm right and my concept of a Conservative Party, but I have so often not had it even at the outset, and then I am usually bitterly betrayed by the performance, the gaffs, the corruption, the sleaze, the incompetence, the soft slide to comfortable centrist pap, and incipient very soft socialism. It s a recurrent pattern leading to low level and controlled despair. I regard ward elections to be closer to real conservatives voting for real conservatives, but even that is I know a forlorn illusion of minor comfort. We live through a dire period of quality in politics which infects your team quite as much as what was my team. But, in football terms, I still support the team of my life choice. How can I not? I may distrust and despise the manager, hate the owners, think the team are lazy tossers who don't even try any more. But my comfort lies in the stands and in the pubs and buses where my sort of conservative still lives and breathes. It is all so dispiriting, but taking these by-elections as matches, I do relish a win despite my overall torpor and ennui about the big picture. |
