The poor performances earlier this year, I believe, were attributable in large part to laccadaisical campaigning and poor organisation. Local byelections in key seats, by contrast, tend to be run by professionals sent in by regional offices. Hence the starkly different outcomes. Those still not acclimatised to modern campaigning techniques, please note. It is certainly nice to see the Party getting good results again in its Wessex heartlands.

Dem support. I was in Newquay last summer and this is a good weather gauge for Simon Wright the L/D PPC to take all residents concerns to Westminster in 2010.

Bad news for the Tories who were counting on a strong GPEW vote to split the vote in the GE.

The Green Party's cosying up with Respect and increasing left wing stance is costing them support.
