picture is that it is a head`to`head fight between UKIP and the

Conservatives for top spot. Where it goes after that is uncertain,

particularly at the bottom dnd of the order. Labour, Liberal Democrat

and the Greens. The variations are interesting. In Mid Devon, the

Conservatives are in the lead, in Conservatives are in the lead, in

the Isles of Scilly, UKIP are in the lead. In other places, we have Mid

Devon, Conservatives in the lead, and elsewhere, it is a much patchy

picture. If we look at Weymouth, UKIP blade, Dorset, Conserv`tives

picture. The head`to`head between UKIP and the Conservatives hs the

UKIP and the Conservatives is the story of the night. There is a lot

at stake for Labour and the Liberal Democrats. The way it is looking is

that there will be five seats shared between UKIP and the Conservatives.

Labour, the Liberal Democrats and the `` Greens are competing. I am

told that everything, apart from the permit recount, is going smoothly.
