Always find it interesting that Labour are so keen to lend credibility (ie standing in their party's name) to this horrendous joke of a 'council'. Or do they run on a mandate of the abolition of their archaic voting system? It's the first item - "A real voice for residents – ensuring residents are represented as effectively as businesses in the City’s decision-making". Your stance is profoundly anti-democratic. The Corporation of London is hardly going to cease to exist in embarrassment that one particular political party will not nominate candidates, given it is populated by non-partisan candidates anyway. Refusing to stand as a party does precisely the opposite - it endorses the current electoral system by not challenging it. And further, the Corporation does actually run local services, so refusing to stand is to say you don't care who directs them and what they deliver for residents. The most predictable response of the month. Thank-you. |

Or even "reform". Just waffle. |

Labour now hold half the seats in Cripplegate. They got 40% in this contest after getting a combined 36% in 2022:
They previously held 6 of the 100 seats on the City of London corporation before the 2022 election. This is only the second City by-election that Labour have won. The last one was in Castle Baynard a few years ago. If Labour stands more candidates they could probably win more seats in Aldersgate ward next time, which covers the rest of the Barbican estate and the Golden Lane estate.

That Lib Dem Buckingham win is huge. Helpful boundaries for the Tories, with a swathe of countryside included, a very credible Tory candidate and a proper Labour campaign.
I‘d assumed it would unloseable for the blue team. The new boundaries will be more opposition-friendly although Robin stuchbury for Lab has a huge personal vote.
I still can’t see the Tories losing Buckingham and Bletchley but if it really is worse than 1997 for them, results like this show the way.

The Conservatives will not lose Buckingham & Bletchley because Liberal Democrat activism means that the opposition vote will be fairly evenly split. |

I have not come across any up and downs percentages as yet but yes a big swing to LD |

The City of London is an anachronism and a joke, but the Barbican, the Middlesex Street estate and the other scattered residential communities of the City do have a need for representation. Not standing out of principle just denies those residents the representation they deserve.

The Conservatives will not lose Buckingham & Bletchley because Liberal Democrat activism means that the opposition vote will be fairly evenly split. I’m not convinced by that. It’s far from unusual to have Lib Dem strength in local elections which more or less vanishes in a Westminster election, and in this case Labour are quite clearly the challengers. I suspect notional results may be overstating the Labour position a little because of that Labour councillor in Buckingham West with a personal vote, but the ones I’ve seen suggest the seat is in reach in a landslide scenario. (E.g. Ben Walker ’s figures suggest the swing needed is just over 13%.) |

It would be interesting to know how support broke down in Buckingham East between that portion of the ward in Buckingham and everything else.
