Straw in the wind

In amongst all the other voting in London, there was a byelection in Highgate, and it's (I believe) the first indication of polling strength in the city. Result: a Green gain, and by some margin.

The next key thing is going to be those Assembly seats. I think our English colleagues will win one more, up to three, with just a squeaker of a chance of a fourth. Boris is, I fear, going to win pretty clearly, which will make Green scrutiny absolutely vital.
