Super Thursday: Big Swings in Torbay!

To be fair, this isn't that unusual for Torbay council, it has had big swings before. But it is notable, especially for the Conservatives, that this gain for them, came from yet another massive swing in the Torbay area. In 2003, the Tories had only 7 seats, they now have 23! In 2003, the Liberal Democrats had 23 seats, they now have only 9.

This is a result that the Tories wanted, and they will be in celebratory mood in Torquay tonight.
