You can’t really project results for a local election where only a select few areas are up for election onto a general election.

Lab won the WM by-election today with a 26% swing in-line with polls. 

I don't think it helps that Scotland didn't vote at all, and the question mark on whether the SNP is about to see a collapse following the messy end to Yousaf's First Minister reign and other recent issues there. Plus also Wales only had PCC elections, which tend to be something of an afterthought.

A massive shame that Jamie Driscoll missed out on the north East mayoralty to another Labour racist.

No green surge in Bristol where the greens failed to win the city council so doesn't look good for the Bristol central constituency.

 

Was also thinking that the greens leader doesn't expect the greens to retain Lucas's Brighton seat.if they thought they could win it one of the co- leaders would be standing there.

Aren't they the biggest party there? I reckon they will win that seat in general, may win one or two elsewhere too.

Greens won 34 out of 70 in Bristol. They did well generally, definitely picking up disaffected Labour/Muslim votes

Isn't this more the younger lefty studenty voters rather than Muslim vote?

In the Calderdale Park ward  shown here Labour came third behind Workers Party and Greens. They have always won easily in the past.

mostly I'm pointing out that other peoples claims for the greens in Bristol don't stand up.

 

we don't need a green party , particularly not the detached one we have, when the answers are in personal actions.

They’re now the biggest party in Bristol city council. Also you’re the only one who really mentions them

A ludicrous argument, even by your standards

but didn't win it, despite all their grandstanding.  not just me, the corbyn backing genius also mentions them repeating their over-hopeful press releases, but doesn't know what the f**k he's talking about, again.

only just about didn't win it overall, still a big win for the Greens...and does suggest they have a lot of support there and could win in a general election...they will certainly concentrate a lot of their resources there. I think it's a good thing for Green to have some MPs, what I am worried about, probably unnecessarily, is enough people vote Green/LibDem/Independents across the country and that ends up gifting Tories a surprise win like is about to happen in London (it isn't, probably).

I’ve been reading and can’t find any . That’s why I asked . Gaza I would say is a good example of where other issues have come into play . He’d not be an mp otherwise . I’m not always In agreement with the posts but think it’s fair if you suggest something’s been said then you ( anyone ) is able to find said post . 

 

You cannot compare votes in by-elections to general elections................... unless a while later it suits you to do it just as I said when you questioned me on it.

Hopefully this is enough for you to know what I said was true 🙂

And oddly they think that vegans farts create more bad gases than flying!

Almost like they think meat eaters do not fart.

According to some an increase of 10 seats from 24 to 34 - so an increase of 41.667% is not a surge.

Will Susan Hall pull off a shock win and totally f**k everyone's brains?
