Are Rugby trying to give Tower hamlets a run for their money here? They got the CC result out pretty quickly. Maybe we are in recount land. |

Hearing it’s close in Dunsmore, think it’s 1 LD gain, 1 Con hold

Which means the Tories are now a minority on Rugby DC.

And this time, my optimism wasn't wildly misplaced

I seem to have chosen the right time to check this thread for the morning counts' results!

Interesting result in Rugby, well done to anyone who called a split. Will this mean a change of control?

But I wonder whether they might prefer to let the Conservatives continue as a minority until May, when both parties might expect to win more seats from Con. There are three split wards where Con are defending their last seat against Labour, two further wards where the Con lead was less than 5% (one each for Lab and LD) and now Dunsmore. |

That’s a wise call. The Tories have to go through a budget and any difficulties with that. It’ll be possible to define some clear water. Taking over now would mean handling whatever the current administration has been struggling with, with an unstable coalition with its share of mistrust. But whether that wisdom prevails… |

With the exception of Bilton (which isn't going to be top of either the Labour or LD target lists) there aren't any wards where Labour and the LDs really compete in Rugby - all the wards where Labour hold seats are straight fights with the Tories, and whilst they're second in some of the LD wards they're a long way back. So a coalition might face a bit less internal tension than is often the case.

You're right, of course - I thought they'd lost one of their standard 3 in 2021, but obviously that didn't happen. That said, I expect they'll prioritise gaining a second seat in Dunsmore over Bilton (and Labour have got the 3 wards where they're trying to gain the last seat and Hillmorton higher up on their target list, so may be more amenable to leaving Bilton alone than they would have been if they'd done alright in 2021.) |
