Worrying, if that follows on at the next General Election, Labour will get in by the back door. :-\

 :) :) :) 8) Onward & upward.
If it helps Labour,Camoron will only have himself to blame.He has changed the Tories into a social democratic party,much like the other two.It doesnt make a huge difference which one of the three big parties are in govt. as theres very little difference between any of them.
Another couple of results like this one and Camoron will be out of a job.The Tories can be utterly ruthless in removing leaders who they believe will lose them an election. ;)
Personally,I believe that the Tories have even less chance of winning the next election than they did the last one. A lib/lab coalition is the most likely result,and thats the worst of all worlds.

Nick Clegg could end up being the longest serving deputy prime minister in history.

Well I tried, as a family we all voted the same way. At the risk of sounding smug I said the liberals would win. This area is full of idiots.
Caught a bit of a bbc program last night broadcast from Eastleigh I believe. And one idiot stated live on TV that he wished he vote for huhne, that is the mentality of the majority of people round here.

Going by the coverage on the news, miserable turn out given the interest by all parties.
Disinterested electorate. As said, we are becoming Japanese.

Pro eu liberals winning can't be good for ukip.

Apparently, the Libs won on postal votes...on-the-day votes went the way of Ukip. ;)

Fair point about the turnout, although by-elections are notoriously low.

All-in-all, a cracking performance by Ukip!  :y :y :y :y

Tory deputy chairman Sarah Newton has come out with the spin to end all by-election spin:

“It is good for the Coalition that the Coalition was able to retain the seat.”

How stupid is that comment?  ::) ::) ::) ::) ::)

I switched the news on a few minutes ago, and to be quite honest, I was sick at the crap the Cons, Libs and Labs were coming out with.

All the spin they could muster, plus trying to belittle UKIP. The Lib Dems only won by 1700 votes. Oh...if only UKIP could have got that extra vote. The news today would have been electrifying.

The 'main' parties have been snubbed, but they won't be men and admit it.

I just saw one incident at a gathering outside the hall, and the crowd snubbed the Lib Dem chap ;D ;D ;D

Its just scrolled across the bottom of the TV screen...'Nick Clegg says the Lib Dem win is a stunning victory against the odds !!!!!! How the hell does he work that out ??? ??? ???

We are seeing a change not just in the UK but if Italy is anything to go by with other EU countries, where the Eurosceptic party took 20% of the vote and the EU stooge party lead my Mario Monti getting less than 10%.

The full implementation of the Libon treaty comes into effect on 1st January 2014, where qualified majority voting applies to many new areas. Once it is in the news that the UK is isolated and outvoted on major issues that will have even more major effects on UK governance on a daily and weekly basis and will continue to have a bigger and bigger effect on our daily lives, people will start to realise what many of us have seen for a long time, the the UK Parliament is little more than a town council when it comes to real powers, where they just nod through rafts of new left-wing eco-green anti-competitive EU clap trap, sorry Directives. The closing of our coal fired power stations, insurance equality and interference in employer-employee contracts in private companies over the bankers bonuses are just a few current issues. This is all going to play into UKIP's hands with an increased vote at the next General Election.

With the EU out of jealousy determined to kill London as Europe's financial centre, the vote this week is just the start in making EU laws to make all EU countries uncompetitive for global banks, that they will have no choice but to start relocating their headquarters and trading centres elsewhere. There must be a lot of very happy people in Hong Kong, Singapore, Dubai and New York this week, knowing that much new business is heading in their direction. My guess will be that HSBC will be the first major bank to change its headquarters to Hong Kong. Let us also not forget that the ineffective tripartite regulation of Banks by the FSA, BOE and Treasury was forced upon the UK by the EU as part of the EU wide liberalization of financial services and common compliance rules. Much like the horse meat scandal again the EU have created another very bureaucratic system that in reality just doesn't work.

Where this country is so reliant on financial services, this will just continue to diminish our economy as a percentage of the worlds economy, with the smallest loser currently in Europe being Germany and therefore the continued rise of German Hegemony.

I think with the growing momentum of UKIP and if Italy anything to go by, where the Beppo party increasing rather than diminishing their percentage of votes at their recent national elections, I think the same will apply to UKIP. In Eastleigh UKIP took 14% of the votes off both the Lib Dems and the Conservatives.

Personally, where we had a step change in the political landscape just over 100 years a go with the emergence of the Labour party, I think the same is happening with UKIP as they are the only right of centre party left in our politics. The LibLabCons are all left of centre parties these days, which shows how far they have drifted to the left, much of this through socialism by the backdoor EU directives. UKIP only stands where the Conservative party did in the 1980's where they used to be a right of centre party.

There are many people in the North of England who will never vote Conservative over what happened to the old nationalised industries, particularly coal mining and the effects this has had on all manufacturing in what used to be our industrial heartland. I think what happened with UKIP getting second places in elections earlier in the year, will be repeated, so don't be surprised if the first UKIP MP is in a northern constituency.

The big loser in this new order will be the Conservatives, who will become a fringe party after 2015, much like the Liberals became just after the WWI with Labour being the major beneficiaries. The Liberal party has never recovered and I don't think the Conservatives ever will either.

Just ask yourself the simple question, what is the point of the Conservative party in its current form? If you want socialism vote for the real thing Labour, if your want eco-socialism vote LimpDems, if your want a right of centre party nationalist party then it is UKIP.

Instead of David Cameron just dismissing UKIP coming second as a protest vote, he should be asking the question, where he has moved the Conservatives to a hairs-width of the Labour party, what is the point of the Conservatives? The simple answer is that there isn't any that I can see and that is his challenge and as somebody with no principals and vision apart from wanting power, his focus groups aren't going to give him the answers. He has driven the Conservative party artic into an electoral Cul de sac where there is no reverse gear or place to turn around.
