That is an excellent result for us and bodes well for similar territory of which there is quite a bit to go for. Don't read too much into all this. These are just inconsequential local government by-elections that two-thirds of the electorate do not even notice or take part in at best. And there are local factors and local characters affecting results. Some of you are poring over these as if they are birds entrails! I don't know why you are quoting two different statements by carlton43 as if to imply that you are making some sort of point. The two statements are entirely compatible with, and consistent with, each other. |

The two statements are entirely compatible with, and consistent with, each other. They really aren't Logically, the two statements are indeed entirely consistent with one another. However, by the terms laid down in the second of those statements, the first statement definitely amounts to poring over one particular result as if it were an entrail or entrails of one or more birds - an activity that the second statement seems to regard with some disfavour as being rather pointless. |

GWBWI LDm +140 Grn +36 Con -60 Lab -103 It was very close between Green and Con for second - and neither was too far behind the LibDems - until the Hampshire result came in. COns lose more from Hampshire than they gain from Stockport (-89, +63), and the reverse for the LibDems (+67, -35). Still, Labour struggles are the main theme, with Salford a solitary, and weak plus point Could someone point me in the right direction for how this is calculated and what the GWBWI means/stands for?

Just occurred to me that the Tories had a net loss of seats this week - when was the last time that happened?

I don't know why you are quoting two different statements by carlton43 as if to imply that you are making some sort of point. The two statements are entirely compatible with, and consistent with, each other. The Wolverhampton, Bilston result may have been influenced by the fact that the day before the election Labour announced that many of the illegal migrants on the Bibby Stockholm were to be re-housed in a hotel in Wolverhampton. |

The Wolverhampton, Bilston result may have been influenced by the fact that the day before the election Labour announced that many of the illegal migrants on the Bibby Stockholm were to be re-housed in a hotel in Wolverhampton. Given the 19% turnout, it is more than likely that the majority of votes were postals rather than on the day votes, so events this week would not have been a significant factor in the result. |
