The Blogonian (Bristol's Election 2006)

Clifton

Also Barbara Janke's ward, this has been a solid Lib Dem ward for well over ten years. Their candidate and sitting councillor, Brian Price, will win this and probably land over 50% of the vote.
A waste of time the other candidates turning up.
Blogonian Prediction: Lib Dem Hold

Clifton East

The ward of failed actor turned failing mayor and indifferent politician, Simon Cook. There's little chance of the snob being given the boot though. He should romp home with a thumping majority on the back of the general election. The main challengers are the Tories but they can't do it this time.

Cotham

Yet another safe Lib Dem seat. Their accountant, Barrington Dodd, is up this time and looks unbeatable. The Green candidate, Geoff Collard, has been slowly building support in this ward but he's still got a long way to go to win it. It looks like he'll get swamped by the larger party machines in a general election year in a marginal parliamentary constituency.
