A blog by Luke Akehurst about politics, elections, and the Labour Party - With subtitles for the Hard of Left. Just for the record: all the views expressed here are entirely personal and do not necessarily represent the positions of any organisations I am a member of.
I'm away so not able to do the usual stats for yesterday's by-elections.

Again, no candidate on one of the seats - Burnham Church. This is by no means a 'posh' ward, and we always used to have councillors in Burnham Lent Rise and on the parish council

Given our result in Dacorum, maybe we should have given that one a miss and stood in Bucks instead ;-)

Very low turn out local elections, in the midst of the holiday season, from which it would be dangerous to draw too much of a conclusion.
