Lib Dems have won Eastleigh with 53% vote share Why is it so difficult for people to report the full result? (btw not aimed at you, who usually does exactly that) |

I've tweeted at Eastleigh Liberal Democrats asking them for full figures. Not on the council website.

That's a libellous accusation to make about the successful candidate and her agent.

On the basis of yesterday's results Labour may perform better in May than expected .

On the basis of yesterday's results Labour may perform better in May than expected . I'm not sure I'd make that assumption yet; yesterday's seats were "traditionally" Labour, largely only being threatened during the height of the anti-Iraq war period. In May there's an awful lot of seats being defended that don't have much of a Labour history and were won at probably the lowest point for the Conservatives in the 2010-15 Parliament. |

That's a libellous accusation to make about the successful candidate and her agent. Really? To suggest that this is a very safe Labour ward, that the outcome was never in doubt (hence 'in the bag' ) and that a large number of Labour votes will have been cast quite legitimately by post is libellous? What accusation do you say I am making against the candidate and agent? |

Yes I agree, but on the flip side they were arguably the safest Labour Wards for a while, with the exception of the Southwark seat a couple of weeks ago. |

On the basis of yesterday's results Labour may perform better in May than expected . Expected by whom? By the dreaded metropolitan elite? These will be local elections. The Corbyn effect may be quite limited as yet. And the Tories have a dreadful record in attacking local government, as even David Cameron may finally have noticed. My guess is that Labour will lose some seats, but not the numbers being bandied around. |

My guess is that Labour will lose some seats, but not the numbers being bandied around. Depends somewhat I think if we're just focussing on England; I suspect the SNP will make considerable gains from Labour in Scotland which will add considerably to the net loss total. One other factor to be considered is if the EU Referendum is in June as some believe then that could refocus attention on UKIP as happened at the last County elections. |

Yet again - council elections in Scotland (and Wales) are not until next year |
