The Tory vote has collapsed since the legalization of gay marriage. Not held a ward since and with large declines in every ward. (discounting Dorset for obvious reasons) UKIP actually winning now.

Technicaaaaaaaally it's not legalised yet, but I take your point.

Watching UKIP fail to win any by-election is so, so refreshing.

They fail to win most local by-elections so I'm not sure how it counts as "refreshing". What's notable is that they have fallen back notably in the two Lincolnshire contests, presumably because there were more convincing local alternatives available.

All the 'kippers on my Twitter feed were hyping their chances, hence their loss is made even sweeter.
