Is it me or are some parties not taking local by-elections seriously?
More fool them...

Discuss. Well, obviously true. We seen that in Hampton Wick, there was no reason to not see it here either. But, like everyone, I underestimated the size of the swing. Same in Battle. But that doesn't explain Llay... |

Discuss. One thinks this might be the start of a trend, our Lib Dem/Tory switchers are often quite a sensitive lot in our heartlands (thus why they're switchers) and won't have much liked what they've seen since the election. In this case Battle is heartland too (and if you've ever been there it makes perfect sense!). Llay is completely inexplicable, though being N Wales must be personal, plus it is the conundrum that is Wrexham. |

Llay has had weird and completely inexplicable local voting patterns for years (although that's normal for Wrexham). Probably the LibDem candidate is very well liked in the place. Maybe this was a factor, I have no idea. And in all cases (of course) it helps that the LibDems are no longer in government. |

My Welsh Lib Dem mate (and Gwynnedd County Councillor) Steve Churchman seemed to be quite confident a few days ago on facebook.

Just a case of voter guilt I'm not proud; I'll take guilt. The Tory activists I saw there yesterday literally looked like children. I'm not sure if this is a sign of my advancing middle age. The Tories also ran a very negative campaign, which I think seems to have backfired significantly. |

I wonder why there was no Plaid candidate in Llay but multiple independents?

I wonder why there was no Plaid candidate in Llay but multiple independents? Wrexham generally is very poor Plaid territory (this year's 7.6% at the GE was their highest ever) as it's got a large non-Welsh population, predominantly Polish. It was, pre-implosion, one of the BNP's best performing non-English areas. I seem to recall a major local fuss about the erection of dual language road signs - Polish and English rather than the Welsh and English you might expect. |
