Mcr Local Election 2008: City Centre Gap Closes
City Centre Ward
ADLARD Rob Tory 386
BIRKINSHAW Peter Green 139
MCCAUL Anthony Labour 479
RAMSBOTTOM Marc Steven Lib Dems 568
Disappointing. But in fact a tremendous result for Anthony McCaul. Closing the margin on Rambo to under 90 and widening the gap to the Tories to around the same. Adlard is now, officially, Tory toast.

Good prediction. Will be interesting to see how close you are in your other predictions.
Chorlton was my best effort I think John. One or two of the others were shall we say wishful thinking, wind ups for the Dims, or both.
On second look, most of them stand up. Only Northenden and Whalley Range really stand out as seriously incorrect. The former by a swing of just over 50 votes. The latter through an incredibly mixed up situation in the ward. John Grant almost certainly got the benefit of white Tories and soft racists generally supporting him rather than the scarey Tory hotheads.
