It's quite possible that all 3 parties will end up with net losses and the Green Party and UKIP making quite sizeable gains and Respect and BNP locally making some gains - Tower Hamlets it appears could end up with both BNP and Respect councillors.

I am being modest in saying that the Conservatives will gain 370 seats.
Posted by: jasper brett | May 04, 2006 at 22:58
>>>>10 results declared already according to the BBC. That was quick!<<<<
No doubt they could only put them up as declared after the poll closed because otherwise it might have been considered an infringement of Local Elections Coverage Laws.
Posted by: Yet Another Anon | May 04, 2006 at 22:59
I'd say 238, just at a complete guess.
Posted by: Noel Slevin | May 04, 2006 at 23:21
197 but can I buy one anyway? Your explanation of the shields and their importance in building a coalition made me like them even more.

Hi, just came home from Islington count. We didnt manage to win but increased our vote 100-200% across the borough, highest vote we got was 540 in Highbury East.

Henry Cook wins! 316 gains! Sorry about the excitement, have been unwinding with a rather good bottle of Californian red after a long, hard week at the office...
Posted by: Daniel Vince-Archer | May 05, 2006 at 19:56
Wowser! Chuffed to bits. Would've looked even better if I hadn't said Labour would lose 450+, but then I can't take account of the Lib Dem's suffering a severe bout of narcolepsy.

M heart is broken.
I'd been fantasising about that mug, and I was so close....only 2 votes short with my guess at 17:05 :-(
Is there a consolatory prize? Seriously, 'cos I'm really upset!
Posted by: Biodun | May 05, 2006 at 22:23
Interesting looking back at peoples' thoughts now :-)
On an aside, I just looked at willhill and they have the Tories at 1.8 for most seats at the next election (Labour 1.9). That's very encouraging - I paid my way through two uni degrees via sports and events gambling, and willhill are pretty much the gold standard when it comes to odds (don't remember ever seeing a single value bet from them!).
