A possible surprise in East Devon?

The Conservatives look as if they might be heading for a 40+ overall majority, but there could be a surprise in East Devon where a local informant tells me there is a 60/40 chance of the independent winning.

Interesting article on the constituency in the New Statesman: Rural revolt

The marginal constituency of St. Ives includes the Isles of Scilly. From the island with the smallest population, St. Agnes (which once recorded a 100 per cent turnout im a local election), the ballot box is taken to St Mary’s on @stagnesboating after polling closes at 10 pm. So it will be interesting to see what happens this week with wind and sea forecast as it is and it being dark.
