Suggests a certain lack of familiarity with the City of London electorate in believing that they consist primarily of socialists. It would be nice, but I don't think it is so. How does the City usually vote in general elections? Conservative, was Peter Brooke (Northern Ireland Secretary) succeeded by current incumbent Mark Field. The seat also includes the Palace of Westminster as Cities of London and Westminster. |

The seat also includes the Palace of Westminster as Cities of London and Westminster. There was definitely a Labour majority in the 1997 election - when the big issue was the Tories' thwarted attempt to close Barts A+E. The Labour candidate Kate Green (now MP for Stretford and Urmston) had been closely involved in the campaign to save Barts. |

Is the Steve Riley who won the Broadland, Aylsham by-election the same person who was the Liberal Democrat candidate for the Broadland constituency last May?

That's also the same Steve Riley who won the 2013 by-election caused by the resignation of the same councillor as 2013. Very repetitive area. 2011: Cottingham (Con), Graham (Con) and Harrison (LD) elected. 2013: Cottingham resigns, Riley (LD) elected. 2015: Cottingham (Con), Graham (Con) and Harrison (LD) elected. Riley 6th. 2016: Cottingham resigns, Riley (LD) elected. |

Makes the rumours of a UKIP gain that apparently did the rounds on Twitter earlier all the more bizarre  |

Ah! Clear evidence for socialists preferring a candidate without a 'Foreign' Asian name. Suggests a certain lack of familiarity with the City of London electorate in believing that they consist primarily of socialists. It would be nice, but I don't think it is so. I thought that Labour were the largest party on Corporation. |

Looking at the Aylsham Broadland result I note that compared with the July 2013 by election the LibDems are actually down a couple of points with both Tories and Labour a tad higher!

How does the City usually vote in general elections? Most of the City electorate aren't eligible to vote in general elections, on the grounds that they are businesses rather than citizens. |

Well, not entirely - the business vote is decided on the basis of the number of employees, and the company then nominates individual employees (who must work in the City) to be those voters. So the businesses nominate the voters rather than actually voting. |
