Labour do seem to be in meltdown in Cardiff, suspending yet another councillor from the Labour group and botching the redevelopment of the bus station, which looks as if its 4 years behind schedule. Well that'll give them four years to learn from us in Stoke, who built a sparkly new bus station that has won numerous architectural awards but grinds to a halt if you try and get more than six buses in there, and has an entrance/exit road that isn't wide enough for two buses to pass side-by-side. :/ |

That looks to be a fair turn out? Turnout was 34.9% (relatively big wards in Richmond, it has to be said). |

Anybody know if there might have been a Heathrow backlash in Richmond that helped the LDs/hurt the Conservatives?

Never really got close in this ward bar GE day in 2010 and we know the Tories were putting serious resources into this election. You won it in 1986 and 1990, held two of the three seats in 1994 and one in 1998.... Now you are no longer in government with the Tories I would say we are probably back to the "old days" in Richmond Upon Thames when the Lib Dems could threaten any Tory seat. Still a very good result of course. |

David Cameron might be pleased with the Richmond result. A few more of those and Zac Goldsmith might think twice about threatening a by-election.

Apart from Hampton Wick being in Twickenham constituency.

Apart from Hampton Wick being in Twickenham constituency. OK, I stand corrected. But it might still make Zac think. |

I think this is an extraordinary result (as my prediction in the competition also indicates!).
After the May disaster I was with a local Lib Dem in Claygate (Elmbridge / Esher & Walton) who thought that their gain from the Conservatives in that ward was the only such example in the country on that day. (No doubt this is the place where people will know if he is right).
I know this is a byelection but Hampton Wick has long been regarded as by far the strongest C ward in a constituency in which they made a spectacular gain 4 weeks before.
Straws in the wind, maybe, but this could be the way the Lib Dems start a recovery, or at least prevent extinction - the old route of working up from local ward elections.
I am old enough to remember the role of Church ward, Wavertree, Liverpool ...

It is a really good result for the LDs, no doubt about it.
Very contrasting results for the Conservatives.

A good result for the Tories this week in Grantham - where turnout was appalling - but rather less so in Richmond and Cardiff where it was better.
Best to draw a veil over Labour's showings - one might say it is post-election blues but we actually had some decent results in June......

Best to draw a veil over Labour's showings - one might say it is post-election blues but we actually had some decent results in June...... You clearly have some local difficulties in Cardiff. It looks like the LDs managed a strong squeeze on both of us in Richmond. And Grantham - well your vote has bounced up and down so much there... It's Lincolnshire. who understands it? But yes, not your best set of results this week. |

Our candidate in Cardiff being a "carpetbagger" was at least as important (as mentioned above) Labour's share in Richmond fell by less than either the Tories or Greens if one wants a small straw to clutch at  |
