It's what they're all talking about at the Dog and Duck. Yeah, but that place is full of weirdos. |

The Hillhead by-election in Glasgow on March 7th will be interesting to watch.

I think that it's bound to be a win for Roy Jenkins of the SDP. Keep up Pete for Pete's sake

STIRLING Dunblane and Bridge of Allan HEALD, Thomas (Scottish Conservative and Unionist) 1,644 KHAN, Ahsan (Scottish National Party) 1,000 WILSON, David (Labour) 869 ANDREWS, Clare Pauline (Scottish Greens) 433 MOERMAN, Dick (Scottish Liberal Democrat) 292 WILLIS, Michael (Scottish Family Party) 50 Electorate 11,778; BPs 4,315; rejected BPs 27. Thomas Heald elected at stage 6. Actually elected by 1998 to 1531 for SNP at stage 5. Stage 6 is the computer software's imagination. if exhausted votes had overtaken the Tory at that stage, what would the computer program declare the result to be? |

if exhausted votes had overtaken the Tory at that stage, what would the computer program declare the result to be? It would give an error message.... Interesting question. I don't know whether it's ever happened in a single-seat by-election. It would, I think, require a majority to have left the winner's column blank, without even a last place “vote”. A similar situation did occur in the Pentland Hills ward in Edinburgh in the regular council elections of 2022. After Stage 8, Fiona Glasgow of the SNP, with 1840 votes, was the only remaining candidate for the one remaining seat. She should therefore have been declared elected under Rule 53. But as she had not achieved the quota of 2218, a bogus Stage 9 was recorded. Following this, she had 1994 votes, still well short. Non-transfers totalled 2438. However, she was now declared elected. |

Not quite sure how the SNP come out positive having lost vote share compared with both 2022 and 2023?
