If the three elections planned for 4 July all turn into unopposed returns, that might help - and given where they are, it's not beyond the bounds of possibility. |

I think because the parliamentary election is on the same day, all major parties will want to stand? So maybe more candidates than usual. |

Two of the elections are in the City of London, so probably all independents anyway. |

A decent Tory result obviously, though still their lowest share in this (often unopposed) ward since 1995.

This is a very sparsely populated area, with nothing but small villages in hilly country connected by small country roads. It's as remote as the Midlands get, and exactly the sort of place where elections are not contested.
