If the Green candidate won Clarence off the LD in May and then took St Peters off LD in a by-election June 23rd, why will they not do better in the Marshalwick East & Jersey Farm by-election. What's the difference between the two earlier contests and now?

What's the difference between the two earlier contests and now? different demographic. Both St Peters and Clarence have had a decent left leaning vote. St Peters more so but now Clarence has taken in parts of Ashley that has helped the Greens. Marshalswick has never been a strength for left leaning parties. There was a by election in 15' where Greens did well but most of that ward isn't in this one. Around the quad and maybe parts of jersey farm there's probably decent vote that Greens could get. Rest of ward though is fairly affluent lib/con swing voters Surprised to see Frances Leonard put her hat in tho |

I notice that the first two entries to the prediction competition have the Middlesbrough ward as a Lib Dem gain. Doesn't look likely from the previous figures. Is there any "intelligence " that this is based on?

This takes the Eastern half of the old Marhsalswich North together with Jersey Farm. Marshalswick West contains the Marshalswick part of the old Marshalswick South. But Green support was concentrated in the Sandridge New Town area in Bernards Heath. I was active in that by-election and spent quite a bit of the day telling at Bernards Heath infants school where that Green woman was most of the time (Jill Mills? Can't be arsed to check). She was the most annoying person I encountered in the time I was politically active in St Albans, which given the number of Lib Dems involved was quite a feat.. |

I believe Jill was telling at Bernards Heath. I feel like we've often been ships passing in the night during our politically active time in St Albans. Mostly at counts I imagine tho. Jill Mills is thoroughly the worst person to have ever stood for council in St Albans. Greens probably would have won St Peters in 14' had she not been candidate. She did do well in the by election but very much nothing to do with her. I understand she was telling people how to vote at polling station on the day She seems to have been sidelined which can't hurt. I was friendly with a few people who knew your young candidate in that by election. Two or three friends of mine went to school with him |

The most memorable thing for me at that count was seeing Michelle from Big Brother who turned out to be married to one of the Tory candidates - utterly incongruous. I don't think either of my candidates were there so it was only myself from UKIP and I was hanging out with the Tories there |

low turnout looks like it's hurt the Lib Dems. It's an area that is usually lib dem but has thrown a few surprises in. Frances Leonard being a known name might have helped too. Also unpopular decisions locally maybe |

Or was it merely bad sound quality? |

St Albans looked like a banana skin: totally un-necessary by-election, large Council majority, recent by-election defeat, Tory candidate clearly strong. That looks like a good defence to me.
