As well as the Glasgow NE parliamentary by-election there were two council by-elections yesterday:
New Romney Coast Ward, Shepway DC. Con gain from LD. Con 452 (51.4%, +2.2), LD 333 (37.9%, -12.9), UKIP 94 (10.7%, +10.7). Swing of 7.6% from LD to Con since 2007.
Totnes Bridgetown Ward, South Hams DC. LD hold. LD 522 (52.4%, +27.5), Green 265 (26.6%, +26.6), Con 162 (16.2%, +5.4), Lab 48 (4.8%, -4.1). Swing of 0.5% from Green to LD since 2007.
I notice in Totnes there was also a town council by election - which the Greens won http://tinyurl.com/ylkqovh

“Tories 14 points ahead in two polls”
ReplyDeleteNovember 14th, 2009
Tory pressman Henry Macrory has just Twittered to say “Two polls tonight will give Conservatives a 14pt lead”.
YouGov has Tory lead still at 14%
Anthony Wells reports that YouGov have a poll in tomorrow's Sunday Times with the following numbers:
Conservatives - 41% (-)
Labour - 27% (-)
Lib Dems - 18% (+1)
Those figures compute into a Conservative Commons majority of 82.
Could you explain how we get a swing from Green to LD when there was no Green candidate in 2007 (the Independent got 70% of the possible vote in a two seat ward in 2007 and the two LDs got 56% between them)
