Council by-election
There was only one council by-election last night:
Chatteris, The Mills Ward, Fenland DC. Con hold. Con 301 (45.9%, -11.2), LD 264 (40.2%, -2.7), UKIP 58 (8.8%, +8.8), Lab 33 (5%, +5). Swing of 4.3% from Con to LD since 2007.
People have such short memories when voting its a good job the Tory lead points have come down as the bloody Tories were so arrogant they were behaving as if they were in government now!
The Tories started this mess of the economy and Labour failed to fix it!
Good and interesting information. Thanks
ReplyDeleteNot so cocky are the Tory bloggers now, are they?

Can't read too much into it. Labour candidate - paper only (100 miles away at UNi.) and main boozer in small market town is Con Club.
ReplyDeleteLabour did significantly better in the TC election for the same ward, backing up the above comment.
