What, again? You know, he must have a great appeal one-on-one or something (else how do we explain his electoral record?) but his party needs to realise that he doesn't come across well on the gogglebox.

No wonder the Orange Bookers have florished if Tim Farron and Simon Hughes are the best the Social Democrat wing has.

I suppose Barnsley is the opposite of Henley in many ways...

The traditional awkward conversation between the winner and Alan Hope... I remember it in Witney with Dave.

When was the last time a Liberal leader didn't campaign at a by-election? Also, Sheffield Hallam is 15-20 miles away.

The Coalition performing worse than either the LibDems or Tories on their own is pretty good as well.

What's up next? Belfast West? Any others possibly on the horizon?

Amusingly enough, Jarvis's percentage majority is basically the same as Illsley's first one in 1987. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Boundary changes and all that. But meaningless electoral trivia is why we're all here isn't it? Grin

DeVoy, by the way, is better described as Independent Labour if his own description of himself ('Real Barnsley True Labour') is much to go by.

Perhaps it's time Cameron drops Clegg and calls an early election?

Worth noting that while this is obviously dreadful for the Coalition parties (hilariously so in the case of the LibDems), it's bad for another party; the BNP. Once again UKIP beat them in a place where they've been quite strong and they actually fell back on their 2005 result.

When was the last time a governing party lost its deposit in a by-election?

I believe this is the first time UKIP have come second in a parliamentary election.  They were actually quite close to beating the Coalition total.

I suppose Barnsley Central isn't very like most of the places where the Lib Dems have council seats (even those in Sheffield), but I still wonder just how bad May is going to be for them; their local government base could take a big, big, hit.

Couple that with a victory for no2av and there could big anxiety in the LD parliamentary party...

Oh, and the "Others" have a new member. Even the BBC newsreader had a bit of a dig at it last night:
