Election 07 graphic

Patterns emerging?

I'm back to rumours but might John Marek's hold on Wrexham have been loosened by Labour?

Independents have been doing well all night - in fact all campaign - but Labour's blogger, Lesley Griffiths is looking pretty relaxed.

Could we really be down to just the one indy in Cardiff Bay? It'll be a lonely old place for Trish Law... and Cardiff Bay's tea room really wouldn't be the same place without Mr Marek holding court.

Patterns emerging?

Labour's lost significantly on percentages but just swung it in more seats than they might have thought four hours ago. You get the feeling Rhodri Morgan will still be around after next week if he wants to be. Yma o hyd Rhodri, outlasting Tony Blair.

The Lib Dems must be glad they booked that room in Llandrindod for a pow-wow on Sunday.

Plaid? Still not getting anywhere near breaking out of their heartlands.

And the Tories? Best is yet to come for them perhaps.

Hang on in there. Well you've stayed up this late!

Come on Betsan, Llanelli is hardly Plaid heartlands, and the Lib Dem bandwagon has run into the sands of Ceredigion at last.

Second recount in Vale of Glam I hear & Carm West going on and on...

And where or where is fortress Ogmore?

If the rumours are true and the Tories take Carm West then they could be down to 1 member on the Mid & West Wales Regional List. I may be wrong - and he'll kill me if I am - but I think Glyn has probably gone. In many ways I hope I'm wrong...

I hear Vale now looks Labour after most recent recount. Think it was Conservative an hour ago. We'll be here all day!

lol, you can only imagine how we felt at the count as we heard the returning officer tell the agents 'Well, we've got some figures here, but you're not going to like it...'
