The loonies always come out at by-elections - and the public know its safe to "let off steam" knowing they can revert (when it matters) and no harm can be done in the meantime !
I'm sure all the UKIP voters will sleep better tonight knowing that ITK...noticed the tories have fallen behind Labour again...4% at the last count...Libs at wipeout level yet again...

'Labour leader Ed Miliband today sought to rescue his crisis-hit leadership with a fresh promise of an immigration crackdown, after UKIP also came within 617 votes of winning the safe Labour seat of Heywood and Middleton on Thursday night. '
One thing that wasn't mentioned was that the official opposition party almost lost a safe seat to a party that was nowhere at the last general election.
Good point Hedda - 36% turnout in Heywood? Essentially nobody gives a shit. And what a wanker Grant Shapps is.

they are rising and will plummet just as loopy Pauline Hanson (who frightened me by flirting with me) did in Australia on virtually similar policies.
What is fascinating about the UK is the alarmingly low turnout of voters- it seems nearly everyone elected there is now done so on a minority. Overwhelmingly it's clear that whoever wins, the majority either don't want them or are disinterested.
The results with preferential & compulsory voting are so much more accurate.
and : this is a party with now just one MP (who cannot deliver anything for his electorate)but garners a huge swag of the media way out of proportion - again demonstrating that the meejah is all powerful.
I think elections should be run X-Factor style with telephone voting & perhaps big instant prizes to encourage people to ring in.
