snowychap Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 Right, I'm now on to the Chilean candidate. It falls slightly short of the Spanish candidate in terms of quality but for value, seems not bad. Oops, that's a review of what I'm drinking rather than this election. Wait 'til I hit the Hungarian crap. (Apologies, Tony) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Santa_Rosa Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 Houghton and Sunderland South is my constituency, and the tennis centre about 10 minutes from my house. A bit weird to be the centre of the nation's focus for a moment. Result not surprising of course. I went Lib Dem btw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sky news shows labours vote as -12 , Tory as +5 and others as +7 But the swing in question is from Labour to Tory, which means that you split the sum of changes... (12+5)/2=8.5. Or at least that's the way I understand it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
