An easy Lib Dem victory is no surprise - I did wonder if they'd do it on 1st prefs, but ultimately predicted them just short, but they seem to have got their vote out very well. The interesting thing to see will be which other parties have crashed a bit, plus hopefully some comedy votes at the bottom - really hope the Libertarian beats the family party, but won't happen. Apparently SNP turnout collapsed in their areas - plus the obvs bad weather over last few days made the PV share of the final total higher than it would have been (PVs seemed to be very strong for LDs) Who'd have thought it - the party leaders tearing each other to shreds didn't motivate their supporters? I'm shocked...

It's a good result for the Lib Dems from scratch, but the indies have nevertheless made charlies of themselves. I think we’ve had that before where ‘Independent sources’ misinterpret how it’s going in a way that Con/ Lab/ LD/ Green sources normally don’t because those people are more experienced at viewing counts.

It's really a nothing result - the Lib Dems scooped up the collapsing Tory/Unionist vote and it's a free for all for the also rans behind the SNP.

And of course with STV/AV respecting an X is going to have a huge amount of unintended consequences...

Lab hold in Tottenham Hale, LDs second a bit surprising- I thought the Greens should have been in a position to consolidate their position and squeeze the LDs, but that sounds like a very good Lib Dem night altogether. I only really looked at the map tonight when I read Andrew's previews and realised how much this ward is the heart of Tottenham, rather than being the Hale. And realising I did once live in this ward.

I think we’ve had that before where ‘Independent sources’ misinterpret how it’s going in a way that Con/ Lab/ LD/ Green sources normally don’t because those people are more experienced at viewing counts. Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought the Indy assessment of the result was based on the campaigns rather than anything at the count. They saw a LD campaign on a different level to anybody else and assumed ,naively, that would be rewarded on the night. Of course the LDs do often need to campaign way beyond anyone else to win, but it usually takes more than a single campaign to break through.

Would that sort of result deliver all 3 seats if repeated at normal elections? (I realise not likely in practice) Possibly, but it would depend on the balancing. I think three Lib Dem candidates all around 18 to 19% would all get elected, but if the third Lib Dem candidate were well behind the other two then the SNP could beat them to the third seat.

I only really looked at the map tonight when I read Andrew's previews and realised how much this ward is the heart of Tottenham, rather than being the Hale. And realising I did once live in this ward. It goes without saying that you wouldn't recognize the area - bloody hell, I don't recognize the area from what it was even five years ago. There is what amounts to a whole new (i'm going to be naughty) village going up there.
I suppose it depends on what you mean by the 'heart' of Tottenham. I wouldn't describe it that way at the moment but all the new residents are going to change the centre of gravity in the area quite significantly.
With the exception of last year's council elections, where they actually targetted pretty much for the first time ever, Haringey Greens are suprisingly useless, so I suspect the Lib Dems campaigned and the Greens probably didn't.

I think the Greens actually did more than the Lib Dems, a little surprisingly.

If they did the message really isn't getting through. The Lib Dems have struggled big time in the post Featherstone era.

Their vote held up decently in Hounslow, considering the LibDem performance from a standing start.
