I have been otherwise engaged tonight on some accounts but will try to catch up with the by-election results before retiring.

It is good that this week they have all been efficient in co-operating to get results declared and reported promptly for the correct purposes for which the by-elections were held, i.e. to provide us with data.

EAST DEVON, Newton Poppleford and Harpford - Ind gain from Ind East Devon Alliance Ind 560 Lab 162 C 113 Con beaten by Lab in East Devon and both thoroughly beaten by the Ind! East Devon Labour are probably Labour’s strongest rural party in terms of electoral campaigns. |

The Indy there was Chairman of the Parish council and all sorts of other things. It doesn’t really need saying, but pretty obviously in the absence of a Claire Wright equivalent that ward will be strongly Con in a general election. 162 votes is a pretty decent return for Lab in those villages though. |

GWBWI
Lab +165
Grn -6
LDm -30
Con -84
ASV
Lab +2.8
Grn -0.1
LDm -0.5
Con -1.4
Nice night for Labour; poor for the LibDems off only four candidates; only Bourne saved the Cons from being negative across the board.

I’d imagine if there had no been no Ind, there could well have been an LD, and if the LD was a decent local candidate they probably would have won. |

That ward is in the proposed Honiton & Sidmouth constituency, which I’d have thought the Lib Dems might have their eyes on. |

Once again remarkably muted Lib Dem performance, although I did forecast their defeat in Kingston-upon-Thames - it was always likely in a very marginal ward where they have such a huge majority on the council, a protest vote was not surprising at all. It's true that this crop of by-elections was mostly not in their favourite territory but considering how poorly the Tories are doing nationally there must be real concern that they aren't really benefitting.

It's true that this crop of by-elections was mostly not in their favourite territory but considering how poorly the Tories are doing nationally there must be real concern that they aren't really benefitting. An odd common factor in several of these was that they were taking place in wards that were fairly well-off neighbourhoods in traditionally working class towns: Cannock, Broxtowe, Burnley - which haven't been Labour wards except at peaks like the mid 1990s or with GE turnout. The Burnley one is particularly strong. Not surprised by Cannock West given local trend and its history. Kingston's a pretty grimy scene. It must be difficult defending the most marginal Lib Dem seat in a council with a massive majority against a pretty unscrupulous localist opposition (and yes, I'm conscious that the Lib Dem boot has been on the other foot in that scenario a number of times). |

pretty unscrupulous is being pretty kind. An openly Islamophobic campaign waged by a local party whose leader was George Galloway's election agent. I hope that the gloves will come off now as despite my dislike of Lib Dems & Tories I'd far rather have them on the local council than the KIRG. Labour, better still, but we still have an uphill battle to regain our place on that council.

I think that’s it’s been commented recently that there haven’t been that many good chances for the Lib Dems to gain seats from the Tories for a while. They have missed a couple of possibles, but their gains in Guildford and Salisbury in the last 3 weeks have been, I think, there only gains from the Conservatives since August. Looking ahead there isn’t much that looks promising for them in the next couple of weeks. The next possibilities are probably Sunbury Common on 30th Nov and Waverley on 1st Dec. |

The vacancy on the IoW on the 24th looks at least doable for them, though the Greens might also fancy that one.

KINGSTON UPON THAMES, Green Lane and St James - Kingston Ind Res Group gain from LD KIRG 855 LD 647 Lab 265 C 78 I have a feeling that we've not heard the end of this one. In terms of the result being contested for some reason? |
