Cardiff Riverside (2012, 2013by) Lab 1071 45.9% (-0.8; -4.4) PC 780 33.5% (+2.4; -1.2) Con 155 6.6% (-1.1; +1.8) UKIP 110 4.7% (+4.7; +0.3) Grn 109 4.7% (-3.2; +4.7) LD 85 3.6% (-0.2; +1.0) TUSC 21 0.9% (-1.8; -2.2) Curious. Everyone thought that the all-new Corbyn Show would kill off the Greens. Instead, the Greens might prove more resilient than imagined. Presumably the drop in the TUSC vote can be explained by them all joining Labour... Do the 76.1% of non-voters count as votes for Jezza? No they don't! They are Scotland's votes....at heart. |

Phew! A bit closer than I would have really liked... I'm pretty sure it would havw been less closer if you stood someone from Totnes, not from the other side of the borough. LD campaigned heavily on that. Even the resigning Green councillor didn't voted for you, he voted Labour because they had a local candidate, unlike Greens. |

The fact that we only had two candidates for 3 seats in May and would almost certainly have had 3 elected with 3 candidates indicates that there may have been a problem finding a local candidate who actually wanted to be elected, but I have no inside knowledge. froome may have a better idea... |

True. I also suppose than the most leftist elements of the party weren't fans of the idea of running a yacht club chairman, either. Yet, your main opposition wasn't Labour, but LDs, so, it seems yacht club wasn't much on a issue. |

Had this election been a couple of months ago, I would have expected us to lose it. There has been a lot of disagreement and infighting in the party here, and it doesn't surprise me to hear that our previous councillor says he voted Labour, as I understand that he was always on that wing of the party. I've not met our new councillor here, but from what I've heard, far from being a problem, his candidature was probably what won the seat for us. |

I would be genuinely interested to know what was behind that (by their standards) exceptional TUSC performance in Bolsover - how much was it down to the candidate?
Some have commented the UKIP showing points to Labour's problems with them continuing, but they were close to winning another seat in the town at the start of the year.
And maybe the reasonable Tory vote bears out the recent comment in the "surprising places" thread that the town itself is more "respectable" than many think??

Bolsover South is a small ward, and the turnout was low (18.4%). So that 14% of the vote amounts to 78 actual votes.

It's a protest against Labour not having a left-wing-enough leader.  I'll go with DB's assessment. |
