Tories on 40, you lot are back at 28, three down on last time around, according to PB.
You're hanging onto your core which I suppose is a victory of sorts given the pillock you have leading you lot.

Anonymous - I'm not voting Labour again until they get rid of Brown so I don't care!
The Tories are going to storm in - we will be wiped out by a landslide and it will serve us right.
But I'd still like to know where Luke gets these figures from.
Luke?

Lukey, you ginger minger, come out from behind the sofa.
Mori has Cons on 43% and Lab on 26%.
The core is moving to the Libs. The right is going to the BNP. The Left to the greens.
Never mind. Hackney is safe. Lab's comps are turning out generations of duffers that will do what they're told.

Hi Mouse
most of them get reported very fast by contributors on www.vote-2007.co.uk but when they don't appear there fast enough I check council websites or email the electoral services people at the council in question.
