Lots of hilarity here, but then this is a British by-election.

Notes: The Green candidate is literally a Bernie Bro, the UKIPer is not the cricket bloke and English Democrat is currently on his 357th political party. Also the Eccentric Party is a splinter of the Official Monster Raving Loony Party.

Why Larry Sanders is not back in the Labour Party, I do not know. I voted for Sanders in the poll, but actually after thinking it, it needs all the backing, and I must support Jeremy Corbyn and the party.

Tough choice between Labour and Green. Is Sanders well known in the UK now? Do you think he'll get a significant bump in this by-election?

UK Bernie Bros should be doing all they can do to get Labour to win the next election. The Greens are a useless protest vote now.

I'll be a hack and say Labour, but I'd be very surprised if the winner had anything but a blue rosette.

Ignore the vote? That'll turn out well!

It's obvious that the Tories'll win it, but I'd still vote labour anyway.

A blatantly obvious vote for Courts (Tory). Especially assuming the UKIPper is a Faragite, not a Carswellite.

The one with the best chance of beating the Tory, even though it is small.

Yes; Farage said if Remain won we'd have a second referendum on the issue.

We voted to leave the EU; not to leave the Single Market/Customs Union and completely wreck our economy

And, as on most other matters, he was wrong.

Of course- as someone who always opposed the referendum, and knew it would become about immigration I'm happy to still fiercely oppose Brexit

1. Any repeat referendum would've granted another LEAVE victory.
2. The Liberal Democrats, Farron in particular, literally call for ignoring the result wholesale and keeping things as they were/are. That's different from remaining in the Single Market.

The Conservative, of course.

Conservative, obviously, although I wish Cameron was still the PM. I think Iain Duncan Smith and a few other crazies aside, I'd happily support most of the Tories.
