i think that you may be underestimating this lib dems chances.
your government is now unpopular.
for most of its rule it has had popular appeal.
i think that the labour candidates will struggle to get its vote out. unfortunately those who are motivated to vote against labour, rather than abstain are likely to turn to the lib dems.
i would Have thought that your lot would easily win back Hulme but now i am not so sure, the protest voter there has always been keen to turn out. I think we may well win Brooklands this time.
Round here i think Citizen Kane will struggle to poll 1000 votes and the dreadful,parish councillor wannabe, Eakins will win with a maj of about 300.
i fear a high vote for the BNP in North manchester, possibly 2 second places for them.
Could i propose Fallowfield as one to watch!
also Councillor Fender is looking a worried man, surely Old Moat is safe?

Hi Lorenzo - there was a plan at one point to do a WR Anti-war book about the election Grant won (despite his war dance), but it was too depressing to tell to be honest

Hopefully May 1 will cheer us all up so much that the publishing world will gain a new triumph ...

Thanks BHT

Do you have a list to share first? In the matter of Whalley Range I think the question is whether Mr Grant will hold on to second or end up third or even fourth.

That was a great read, you could turn it into a short story. Maybe another chapter in the Grant Saga will be written on the 1st May.

Could there be a Labour one as well?

Do you have a pic of Grant in the pink vicar outfit, his surgical greens, S & M chains ... or even his gimp suit? Or with his cats?
