I might make myself look a fool here (why change the habit of a lifetime I hear you say), but these are my Norfolk election predictions.
1) Norman Lamb to win in North Norfolk with a greater share of the vote than he had in 2005.
Verdict ? Correct. Norman Lamb's share of the vote was up.
2) Keith Simpson (Con) to hold Broadland by 3000 votes
Verdict ? Correct winning candidate, but understated the majority.
3) Chloe Smith to hold Norwich North by 2500 votes
Verdict ? She held on by about 4000 votes.
4) Lib Dems to overtake Labour in North West Norfolk, but a safe Tory hold.
Verdict ? Correct.
5) Lib Dem vote stays static in South Norfolk
Verdict - Lib Dem vote very slightly down by 1%. Correct
6) Great Yarmouth - Recount
Verdict - Almost correct. Tory gain though.
7) Norwich South Lib Dem gain by 500 votes. Labour second, Tories third, Greens fourth.
Verdict - Correct
8) Other seats all Tory holds
Verdict - Correct
Good night all !

i agree with all except number 6. Brandon will win fairly comfortably.
Norman Lamb can probably also walk on water. I assumed (ahem!) "other factors" were involved when he trounced Dale last outing. Now he's up by a further 3% swing!
