Pete Elliott being an arsehole again. VXH4 is a new polling district, most of which consists of a park and industrial premises. See map.So why is it there? Note that big white space around Parry Street and Bondway. That's a big development site. VXH4 has been created to take account of future development. Station no. 6 is one of two for the polling district and has fewer than 600 voters who could possibly go to it. Many of them are postal voters so would not be able to turn up to vote in person. |

And, of course, if so few people vote, it's also going to be partly because the opposition parties failed to give voters a clear motivation to vote against the incumbent party. It is most certainly not all Labour's fault. This is childish & not very impressive from Elliott. |

Tamworth in particular was a good Labour result for obvious reasons, especially with the cause of the byelection being the sort of thing that can bother voters.

Although I think that factor was countered to some extent by going from a straight Con/ Lab contest in May to a contest with essentially 4 right of centre options including the former recent Tory councillor for the ward standing as an Independent. All very helpful to Labour and somewhat the opposite to what often happens in local elections. |

Yes, although they probably lucked out a bit that the other candidates were an ex-Tory former councillor, reform and UKIP. A straight fight with the Tories might have been a bit closer... |

All very helpful to Labour and somewhat the opposite to what often happens in local elections. Though going by the previous local by-election in Tamworth earlier this year, there is no guarantee a significant Indy presence helped Labour there - and many voters won't have been that aware of this one's previous political alignment (especially given they represented a different ward as a Tory) And of course the Uxbridge contest showed that right wing competition doesn't automatically have to doom the Tories, if they give people an actual reason to vote for them. |

I’ve seen some comments on Twitter that it is a good result for Labour ( which it is) and that it’s a good omen for the parliamentary BE ( which it is) without taking into account at all of the candidate list last night. As you say, in a straight Con/ Lab fight like May that would have been very close I suspect |

They represented this ward for 12 years up until May... |
