What interests me is did the LD previous councillor vote for the LD candidate whose nomination papers he signed or his wife .

The other factor to bear in mind is that there was only 1 LD candidate in 2011. So it is difficult to compare like with like as some of the Labour 2011 votes will actually have been second choices of LD voters.

Same true of UKIP? - or so was my thinking anyway, when predicting. From my pollster days, I remember that a surprisingly high proportion of LD voters are Eurosceptic.

OK , I am sure I can find the link to your charity on the website . Your local MEP was posting last night before the result that Labour had done well and the LD's had lost . www.diabetes.org.uk/Get_involved/Donate/I highly doubt Catherine Stihler is that interested in a by-election for a district council is darkest Norfolk, so I presume you mean Richard Howitt? An enthusiastic man, certainly.

I highly doubt he was comparing the telling sheets to canvass returns though, so it's liable that was his assessment from what he personally saw, or else what somebody else told him. I don't think being wrong by a few percent on the LD and Tory scores based on anecdotal evidence really establishes very much.

You should have seen his posts both before the result and his ludicrous spin afterwards on the Survation britain Votes site .

He's a complete knob. Its an unfortunate consequence of the list system used for European elections that even given Labour's dire performace at the last European elections we still get to have him as an MEP
