Blaenau Gwent Double By-election

[Democratic Hawk]

Radio 5 says that the official Labour candidates have conceded defeat.

Now since its candidates, I can only assume both the parliamentary candidate and Welsh Assembly candidate are reported to have lost

Labour should have ran Peter Law in Blaenau Gwent back in May 2005 instead of insisting on some candidate from an all-woman shortlist . Time that policy was kicked bang into f***ing touch and that's swearing

I'm not happy with my party at the moment, not happy at all! Good job there's nowhere else for me to go

Davies has won by about 2,000 votes. Smith polled the 10,000 that Jones did in 2005.

Labour need a kick up the arse for ever losing the seat in the first place . Will they, ultimately, learn their lesson and see the errors of their ways?

I am suprised that we didnt win it back though.

Well, I'd have prefered to see Labour win it back but it doesn't alter the fact, it should never have been lost in the first place
