Bloody hell, that was quick. Specifically from the thread marked "do not leak to Tory Bear" as well, unless you were at the count...
Wow.
I wonder if a celebratory game of 'hide the sausage' with the PPC for Bedford and Kempston is called for?
Matthew is feeling sorry for the person who got 4 votes (40 less than RON)
haha.
Woop she won by 56 - where's my thong?
No.. the Returning Officer said on his blog he would publish the result and he duly did.

Great - a victory for the Labour and Conservative parties here.
The most incompetent, bullying moron wins!
Fortunately for the other parties, she'll be stupid and stubborn enough to not resign, and the Lib Dems will have to watch their youth branch collapse going into the next election.
Greg Mulholland and Stephen Williams have some pretty shaky-looking majorities in student towns, and I don't much fancy Steve Goddard's chances in Oxford East with LY in the shape that it is...

Depends who is hiding whose sausage in whom. You can take the boy out of public school...

Give it a rest. You lost, and Liberal Youth has an experienced, committed Liberal leading it who will (just as she campaigned on tuition fees,) campaign to win Oxford East.
There is no such thing as a shaky university seat for the Lib Dems - probably because we're so damn good.
I think it is called a victory, in the end, for honesty and democracy.
Woohoo.
Now, when are CF having their elections? Oh wait...

You can take the boy out of public school but you have to extract the public school out of the boy with lubricant...

Oh, come off it!
After boundary changes, Stephen Williams now has a notional majority of 640. And as everyone now knows thanks to this LY election, he tried to get the Lib Dems to scrap their policy on fees.
I bet that'll go down a treat in Bristol. I can see him raking those university votes in.
Yeah, the above has a point.
Liberal Youth are only meant to do one thing - win the youth vote over for the party.
With this election, and with the public bickering over the cack-handed way the Lib Dems wobbled on their fees policy (led by Clegg himself, it seems), and with Elaine going round boasting in private to everyone about how she 'stood up to the leader - no, really', it looks like LY have well and truly cocked up the one and only thing they were meant to do, and might just have blown their chances with the youth vote.
I bet a lot of university MPs are fuming.
Whoops...
Well, they might be fuming, but only with Stephen Williams for questioning the ground in the first place.
The Tories will drive diversity out of university and Labour are having a good go.
Even with what I would admit was an error of judgement from Stephen (he kinda deserves to lose it), Elaine's election will win more than it loses.
Lets face it, Williams is still better than Tory or Labour for young people, or have you not been watching parliament recently...

Tory and Labour rejection of equality for those under 25 on jobseekers allowance?
