Looking at the figures for the last 3 weeks we seem to be holding on to the 2010 vote. That is vastly better than we were doing a few months ago.
I agree – possibly some encouraging signs in the last few weeks results (and no, someone hasn’t hacked my account!)
Well it must be good news if Hywel is encouraged by the figures.
Looks like universally grim news for the Tories?
Incidentally, does anybody know what the story was in Dawlish TC? Why would the Conservatives not stand a candidate?
Am I correct in thinking that our vote in Tory held seats – a number of gains – and weaker by far in Labour held areas – lower votes nearly every time.
Simon, you will probably be surprised that I am also encouraged! There seems quite strong circumstantial evidence in some areas (and in eg the ICM Grauniad Poll) that we have made some measure of recovery – seems to be less real condemnation of the party around.
I know Dawlish is only just across the estuary, but I don’t know the Tory story there, Rich. However, I imagine it is only likely to be one of two things, 1 Couldn’t find a candidate / mistake in nomination, or 2 Tacitly backed a sympathetic Independent to make it more likely they would beat us.
