Still no SOPN published for Waltham Forest (nominations closed last Friday) but I believe the Liberal Party is actually standing - I can't remember the last time a Liberal stood in London (no doubt someone on here will soon tell us!). He is James O'Rourke formerly LD councillor for High Street ward (2006 - 2010).

[Pete Whitehead]

There was a LIberal candidate in Haggerston in 2010

[hempie]

Thanks Pete - I'd forgotten that Ben Rae always stands in Haggerston.

[meurig]

The 2 in Ynys Mon are also on the 12th.
Just a 10-month term before elections on totally new boundaries.
The main parties seem to be giving them a miss. No Tories, no Labour, Plaid only contesting one of the two.
Llanbedrgoch is Ind / Ind / PC / UKIP
Gwyngyll is Ind / UKIP

That second set of LD totals in 2005 should be for the Greens.

[Andrew_S]

Corby East must be one of the strongest Labour wards in Northants, although I haven't checked.

Ben recently passed away, having been quite infirm for many years.

But not in Horndean...

Ramping in your own back yard is one thing (well done by the way), ramping in mine is quite another...

[Pete Whitehead]

I wonder if you are ramping in your own back yard Khunanup or if you genuinely think you will win in Horndean? I noted that the LD candidate is a parish councilor for the same ward, though couldn't find election results suggesting it was an uncontested election there. I also noted however that he stood last May and didn't do very well

[Crimson King]

If I recall the results in that neck of the woods correctly he must have been the only one who didnt!

[Pete Whitehead]

I'm not sure you do recall them correctly - the LDs got hammered in East Hampshire in 2011

Not ramping, just a punt really. I know that there were issues in that area of East Hants last year, unlike in the Whitehill/Bordon area where we did very well. My punt is based on if our locals have managed to include their colleagues from up there and the got successful southern Meon Valley area party involved. Connected with it being a good kind of territory for UKIP and some of their better local bods are nearby (including our erstwhile poster Garrincha) we could just sneak it.

Plus of course, sometimes a slightly 'out there' prediction bear fruit, or blows up in your face!

[gwynthegriff]

The departed Independent for Llanbedrgoch seems to have an interesting history; certainly kept his local Standards Committee busy!

Interesting how precise figures can also be "approx".
