It's no wonder that local government reorganisation fell apart when you see stuff like this.

The preference profile for yesterday's Portobello/Craigmillar by-election in Edinburgh is fascinating. If we simulate a 4-seat ordinary election, then Grn/SNP/Lab all have a quota each but the final seat could go to any of four parties, depending on candidate balancing (most likely Grn though).

Balanced Grn candidates - Grn win final seat

Unbalanced Grn and Lab candidates and balanced SNP candidates - SNP win final seat

Unbalanced Grn candidates and balanced Lab candidates - Lab win final seat

Unbalanced Grn, SNP and Lab candidates - C win final seat

There are two local by-elections coming up in Edinburgh this week. Here are AV simulations of the previous results in those wards, from 2017 and 2022.

I reserve the clown car GIF for the very worst cases of dysfunctional councils. I have only ever got it out once before (for Hartlepool in the 2019-21 period). The behaviour of the current Oldham council fully deserves this award, and every Oldham councillor should be ashamed of themselves.

I genuinely wondered whether they might print the Clacton ballot paper over two columns. Nope, it's one column of paper - really needs a banana for scale but this appears to be 3 feet long. (Pic seen on FB)

The World Cup final will be between the top two teams in the world, and eloratings.net makes it Spain 55% Argentina 45%. The third-place playoff, meanwhile, is France 57% England 43%. England were ranked 4th going into this tournament, so 4th place is not an underachievement.

Come to Andrew's Previews for the jokes, stay for the political analysis.

The market town of Ramsey lies some miles to the north of Huntingdon, and is the centre of a large parish which includes several other settlements with “Ramsey” at the beginning of their names. Ramsey Forty Foot takes its name from Cornelius Vermuyden’s Forty Foot Drain which removes water from the fens; Ramsey St Mary’s is named after its parish church; and Ramsey Heights has an approximate elevation of 0 metres above sea level.

Well, I had France in the sweep. Spain's demolition of them has opened up a big lead over Argentina in the eloratings.net rankings, meaning Spain are now odds-on to win the World Cup.

Andrew Teale @andrewteale.me.uk · 12/07/2026

The World Cup semi-finalists are the top 4 teams in the world rankings, and England will need to beat 2 teams ranked higher than them to win the trophy. Not impossible, but a tall order. Percentages based on live ratings from eloratings.net
