According to the Facebook group “Save General Election Night” the Bolton seats are planning to count on the Friday. Comments on this site are generally hostile to such a plan not just in terms of popular interest also to ensure that the votes are counted as soon as possible to minimise any possibilities of tampering.

Labour will very probably win here; but it is conceivable that it will be a shock result that people will want to see. If, as the polls currently indicate, the national swing is about 10% it is quite conceivable that it will be 16% in a few cases, and there are indications from qualitative comments elsewhere on this site that Northern working class seats may as a group be swinging above average against Labour.

It wasn’t. Yasmin Qureshi’s local party have confirmed the comment was nothing whatsoever to do with her, so it has been deleted and the address blocked.

I don’ think someone should be posting in the name of Yasmin Qureshi unless it really is her.

Could be an interesting turn around in 2010 if Yasmin wins here and her former rival Sarah Teather looses in Brent Central (both results probably more likely than not to happen).

Obviously John knows nothing about Bolotn politics and nothing about Andrew or the local Tory Party. I think Andrew would be a good MP and the Labour Party locally is a shambles and in a mess.

If Ms Quershi is so good why has she not appeared in Bolton since her selection?

Well, fortunately for John, Labour are not about to lose Bolton South East, regardless of how good Andy Morgan may or may not be, or how happy (or otherwise) the local party are with Yasmin Qureshi.

What aload of rubbish about Andrew Morgan being high profile local and liked by labour.

Hisis figure of fun, not liked even by the Tories. He was chosen because not oe else ran for it.

There were three members of labour party unhappy that there man lost the seletion but even they are okay about. \
