Barnsley Central By-election

[Filuwaúrdjan]

The actions of certain senior members of the PLP show that he was more than technically an ex-Labour MP.

But, yeah. I'll write a profile post out at some point or something. But, basically, a by-election in a constituency with an eleven thousand majority for the only major opposition party isn't likely to be interesting, even with circumstances such as these (especially as Labour acted extremely quickly when he was arrested-and-charged last year). There are independents in Barnsley politics, but essentially parochial ones.

Presumably. Though what they'd actually do is base it on (say) the number of MPs in South Yorkshire (13 Labour and Clegg) and draw it so 1 looked more like 4.

So that's a spoof on LD campaign lit?

Yep; I've seen a few of those "charts" on LD leaflets in my time.

And you live in their weakest area in the entire country!
