       @a_breakin_glass I'm almost surprised they got that much of the vote. I wonder how long UKIP can sustain themselves.

       @yukiame The anti-Tory vote coalescing around the LibDems (specifically in this constituency), I should think.Probably also explains the slump in the Labour vote. Labour perilously close to losing their deposit.

       @fitheach if the MRLP where ever going to make electoral gains about now would be their time. Lord Sutch must be screaming from beyond the grave about their failures.
