Battle of Bannockburn

Just a quick post to remind anyone interested that today sees the Battle of Bannockburn by-election.

Results should be out some time tonight and although Labour (Violet Weird) is slight favourite, the SNP (Bill McDonald) could charge through to victory which would be a great coup in advance of the Euro elections on June 4th.

Also, as there have been a good few by-elections since May 2007, I'm going to try to rustle up some sort of trend analysis to draw out some regionwide, or even nationwide, expectations from it.

Or maybe I'll end up laying floorboards this weekend as originally planned, we'll see how it goes but a May 3rd 2 year anniversary 'special post' must surely be in the offing...

For now, though all eyes on Bannockburn!
