Well, I got the winner right. That's all that counts though. :) My other prediction that I didn't put here, but did make, was that the reason the Greens and UKIP weren't running is because they didn't want to come 5th or 6th, seems to have been borne out.

I like your potential Yes Minister 2004 scenario. Could work well (if Brown hasn't made all said loyal civil servants redundant).

It would be very interesting to see your LibDem table. I'm sure the "LibDems win byelections but not General elections" is just something put about as a spoiling tactic by the other parties. But it would be fascinating to see the facts.

Incidentally, excuse my replying out of the blue to your LJ - I'm a friend of barakta's and found your post on her friends page.

I bet they are counting by-elections won by the Whigs or something ;)

Hi. Pleased to meet you ;) Are you a sheffield person as well?

Hey - nice start to your table. Rather encouraging results so far, I'd say. And 1993 is far enough back to spot any trend, though I do remember the jubilation I felt in the early 1980s when I was slightly involved in the campaign for a Liberal (as it then was) councillor in Tubridge Wells - of all places, but it was where I was living at the time. He got in and turned out to be an excellent councillor, especially when faced with a tricky NIMBY situation the moment he was elected.

Nice to meet you too. Yup - I'm a Sheffield person, and love living here. I teach at the university that has just given Natalya her degree, but in a different department.
