Cheers for this, Mr. Hayfield.

Mr. Eagles, there's a nice line in Outlaws of the Marsh - "After the clouds had expended their rain" - which refers to the aftermath of frisky time.
Miss JGP, I didn't stay up too late (2-3am, maybe) but agree entirely. Mr. JS' spreadsheet was a major factor in the site being a day and a half ahead of the broadcast media.0 -

Clearly taking place on such a silly day as a tuesday is the reason yesterday's result was so out of kilter with recent trends. Aberrant day, aberrant result.0

Chigwell village, not bad, but still not a great offering of names today. Three Tory wins I reckon, based, as ever, on absolutely nothing.0

Anyone else seen the Stoke by-election section in the local BBC news? In the "Midlands Today" 6.30 bulletin the BBC Midlands Political Editor Patrick Burns said the Tories believe they have at least enough support to "blunt" UKIP and allow Labour to hang on. Which was helpfully illustrated with a picture of Corbyn.0

If the reports that there are only a couple of % points in it in Stoke are true, how can the betting market be 65/28/6???
Selling Labour at 19 w SPIN is laying 4/6 (Betfair currently 4/7 in tiny size/weak market) with a possible booster of them MU 0. If those reports are true it is big value
You could sell it w Spin at 19, Back Labour to win w Ladbrokes at 4/7 and create a nice bet on them coming 3rd
Sell £10 at 19
Have £90 at 4/7
Lab win you lose £8.7
Lab 2nd scratch
Lab 3rd you win £100
So 11.5/1 Labour 3rd or 4th, is it an 8% chance?0 -

I do not know why I am doing this but this is an eve of the election facebook video by Rebecca Hanson reflecting on her campaign as the LD candidate in Copeland. If you wonder why people put their heads above the parapet and put themselves up for election to serve as an MP for any party please watch even though it is almost half an hour long. Good luck to her whether she wins tomorrow or at some time in the future.

I'm torn over the by-elections. One half of me wants the Tories to take Copeland, just to break out the popcorn again to watch Labour implode over the coming weeks. The other half of me wants Labour to retain the seat by a small margin, same for Stoke, so that Corbyn hangs on for grim life and leads Labour to extinction at the next GE. So do I take the short lived buzz of gaining a seat, or see the longer team treat of Labour's destruction at a future election?0

If Corbyn holds Copeland or Stoke or both though and especially if UKIP also comes third in Stoke that will show precisely that he is not leading Labour to destruction, they may be a hapless, useless opposition who May will trounce but they will still be the main party of opposition, UKIP will have completely failed in their objective of beating Labour in their heartlands and the LDs are still too small to make much difference outside of wealthy seats with lots of graduatesJason said:I'm torn over the by-elections.

Thanks for this. I was a few days out of date. This is sad. Mélenchon could have named his price for putting Hamon almost through the threshold of the Elysée. There is an obvious policy too that the left could unite around: the guaranteed minimum income. Mélenchon had better have a damned good plan for the TV debates.TheWhiteRabbit said:

Why are you so sure their talks will fail?
Not sure if you speak French Cyan but I think the knock-out quote was Mélenchon describing the Socialist Party as a hearse...
I'm not Dupont-Aignan's agent but I've been trying to craft an argument for why the TV channels should invite all nominated candidates and not just those who are polling at least 10%.
It was quite easy. There are already two stages of narrowing the field - the "parrainage" requirement and the first round - so why should opinion polls and TV channels impose another?
These stages are at 1.1%, because to get on the ballot a candidate must obtain nominations from 500 of the 47000-strong elected nominariat; and at somewhere around 16%-19%.
2012: 10 candidates: % required to beat third-placed candidate: 17.9
2007 12 candidates: -"- :18.6
2002 16 candidates: -"- :16.2
So why have a middle stage of whittling at 10%? This time there will probably be no more than 10 candidates. Having each been backed by 1.1% of the nominariat, don't all 10 have an equal right to take part in the debates?
The idea in the constitution is that the gladiatorial stuff happens between two candidates after the first round.
We are now two months out, so I've also been looking at what the opinion polls were saying two months before the LR and PS primaries.
LR (average of three polls, 20-26 Sep 2016)
Juppé 37%
Sarkozy 33%
Le Maire 12%
Fillon 8%
Kosciusko-Morizet 4%
SP (13 Nov 2016, "non-candidates" Filoche, Lienemann and Macron included; I have done some magic with these figures; Hollande withdrew; Macron didn't stand; etc.; but DYOR)
Valls 26%
Hollande 22%
Montebourg 20%
Macron 17%
Hamon 8%
Pinel 2%
Lienemann 2%
Filoche 2%
de Rugy 1%
Bennahmias 1%
Peillon 0%
Aubry 0%
Larrouturou 0%
After the certification of candidates, averaging the first three polls (2-6 Jan) (the first round itself was on 22 Jan):
Valls 38%
Montebourg 24%
Hamon 21%
Peillon 9%
Pinel 5%
de Rugy 2%
Bennahmi 2%
