Had a pleasant weekend here. More Labour posters than any other party, surprising number of Green ones too. I wouldn’t be surprised if the LDs got 2nd here, but if the Tories keep that position it probably helps Labour more in the longer term.

I might have vote for Eddie Vee, but there have to be limits to lunacy, and bringing back smoking in pubs is just a bit too mad for this recovering nicotine addict.

Eve of poll and I still haven’t made up my mind between Labour to cock a snook at the flipping Tories, or Green to cock a snook at Hugh Bayley’s support for the bloody wars against Iraq and Afghanistan.

CHRISINTHENORTH – The Central / Outer (”doughnut”) split between the two York seats was the desired outcome from the Labour perspective. I was involved in representing the old Vale of York CLP at the Boundary Commission meeting. We wanted to have a safe Labour York Central seat and knew that we were likely to lose the York outer seat anyway. The North / South split would have left us with two marginal Labour seats that might both have been lost. The Boundary Commission held public meetings in York and took all comments into account in their final report, York people did influence the final result.
