Every party but the Limpdems got it badly wrong in Eastleigh imo.The Lipmdems should have taken a real kicking after what their Eastliegh MP has been up to.There is also the fact that Clegg has been caught lying through his teeth over the sex scandal issue.
The postal votes were done & dusted before that story broke,so that was probably a huge stroke of luck for them.
The Tories local office hardly bothered to mount a campaign.The local party,like many local Tory organisations all over the country,is in a coma.Life long members are deserting them in their droves,they have given up in despair after seeing their party hijacked by a bunch of social democrat spivs,just like Labour was hijacked in the 90,s. Apathy is the order of the day.
Labour - Millipedes script supplied by the spin doctors is all about "one nation Labour".This is the type of seat he should have been expecting to do well in if he is to have any credibilty as a one nation party leader,but he has spent his life in a cocoon of left wing politics since the day he was born,and has absolutely no connection with life on planet earth whatsoever.He wouldnt have had a clue how important it could be to him to do well in a seat such as this,and his strategists must have picked the wrong focus group for this one.
UKIP- missed a great chance although Nige doesnt want to admit it.If he had stood for election himself,I have little doubt he would have won comfortably.And we would have had the enormous pleasure of seeing him berating,and tying in knots,Cameron,Clegg and Millipede rather than Van Rumpoy,Burroso etc. What a shame.
