It was illuminating to watch the votes being counted when we had preference voting (first and second choice) for mayors and for police & crime commissioners. Votes transfer in ways you wouldn't expect.

Bizarrely a copy of this was delivered to Histon Towers which isn't in Cambridge Constituency or Cambridge City Council. But it did give us the opportunity to measure the chart and spot that the Labour bar has been drawn with the same attention to consistent scaling as many a Lib Dem leaflet.

What a difference it will make when we see through Labour's policy of bus franchising. The routes we need, at the times we want and for a fare that's fair. Then we stop being at the whim of a private operator who can change fares, zones and routes whenever they like.
