An extremely low Labour outcome - even in these circumstances.
I think this will be a Plaid gain,
Pl C 24,359
*Lab 9,037
C 5,012
LD 1,405
UKIP 919
Pl C maj 15,322
Pl C gain from Lab
It will be a PC gain but not by that majority.
And if the Indpendent (a former leading Conservative) doesn’t stand at the next election the Conservatives could well reach 10,000 votes.
That majority was a joke, but I think it will be a PC gain.
I think I read somewhere that Peter Rodgers is standing again - although I can’t find a reference for the life of me.
So his feud with the Conservatives continues then?
If they all grew up there might be a repeat of 1979 here.
Latest news:
Peter Rogers will stand so the Tories will be dead in the water again.
Another independent is standing, a councillor from Benllech.
A very interesting seat now and every chance that Albert Owen will hold it, as the Plaid candidate is considered very weak.
Teisen - the Labour vote in the Euros was extremely low - 12.9% - it would require a big change in mood for LAbour to win…..however I appreciate that this is Ynys Môn where historically the incumbent does not lose….
