Anglesey (Ynys Mon) Assembly By-Election 2013

[Filuwaúrdjan]

They did poll some very low scores in some South Wales seats in 2011. Blaenau Gwent might be worth a check?

They got 397 (1.8 )  in Blaenau Gwent and 497 (2.5) in the Rhondda.
They had the same share (1.4) as in South shields but polled less votes.

[You kip if you want to...]

Lowest Liberal result in Mon history.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

But then they basically nominated a cheese sandwich in an uncompetitive by-election in the summer, so, you know.

Still, they finished below the Scargillite candidate.

58%? Holy shmoke.

UKIP and Tories combined below the 'normal' Tory vote here, so, yeah.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

He polled a couple more thousand than I'd guessed, hence my worry about future recruits from the telly...

It's possible, though of course it wasn't a random figure from the telly, but a local boy done good on the telly.

I'm absolutely certain that that's the case, but worry that our varied and esteemed political parties may interpret things differently...

[You kip if you want to...]

If anything, parachuting in people from the telly doesn't look good for the party.

Yeah, the guy was a local, that's the difference.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

There were other reasons for that swing (fyck you Geoff Hoon).

Yes, he's very local - went to school in Menai Bridge, etc.
