There isn't often a local by-election in marginal ward in a marginal constituency. So Rambsbottom will be interesting.

We ever had a recount in a by-election before lately?
One in Ramsbottom likely to go that way, although only a rumour by some at the count.

Sounds like the C have won in Ramsbottom.
This time the chap who lost on a casting vote would have won.

Labour have held Clifton North - majority about 150. That could have been tricky for us, given that last time it was a split ward where the Tories got 2 of 3 seats. And also I saw a number of Tories from across Nottinghamshire Tweeting this morning they were en-route to Clifton, suggesting they made a bit of an extra effort. |

Hmm. What happened there?

My mother used to tell me not to give things a 'Bacup look'.
(That's touching them).
She was from Rawtenstall.

Tories gained Ramsbottom. With a few hundred vote majority... Hmm. What happened there? I'd imagine a significant contributory factor would be kickback against the Labour council's plans to site an aneurobic digestion plant in the Ward. Add to that a Conservative candidate with decent name recognition from the "tied" election and some chaos in the Labour selection. |

Don't forget the high number of postal votes - oh that's only supposed to benefit Labour . |

Given the demographics and previous electoral history, I'd be fairly certain Ramsbottom is one of the places where postal votes are notably more Conservative than on the day voting. |
