Well, 12 votes is more than 25% of your vote, so I would stay quiet if I were you. To be fair to you, that wasn't a good area at all for you and an e-sports journalist (!) might be a very poor fit for Fife.

It's only eight years since the Lib Dems came nine votes short of winning a seat in this ward.

Well, it was in 3BC (before Coalition). Things changed since then.

Wrexham, Llay

Lib Dem 52.2 (+52.2)
Lab 26.3 (-39.6)
Ind Dodd 9.2
Con 4.8 (+4.Cool
UKIP 4.5 (+4.5)
Ind Broderick 3.1

Any idea what was going on here?

(Also, how do you pronounce the name of this place?  "Ll" looks very Welsh, "ay" looks very not Welsh.)

That's the English name of the ward/town. It's Llai in Welsh.

And it's North Wales and Wrexham (lots of Independent councillors and wierd patterns). I suspect they voted for a popular local guy who happened to have a LD label.

Astonishing Corbyn effect in Scotland!

But not the intended one, it seems...


Apparently, it's the first time since 1924 that Labour have won less votes than the Conservatives (or Unionists) in this town - in any election.

In this town?

It's a rural ward.
