"If you can't make your point without being offensive, you don't have a point"
2010 result Lab 2263 LD 1178 Con 777 UKIP 329 Green 134 TUSC 121
Practically a guaranteed win for the Labour ****.
I think therefore I am a Libertarian.
I would be pleased if UKIP breach the 10% mark, they have been at 5% nationally in various polls this month and after the Oldham by election they have clearly stated their position as 4th largest party in the UK, could possibly even see 3rd if the LibDems drop another 2-3%!
Lab - 996
C - 160
UKIP - 76
LD - 52
BNP - 52
Green - 51
Ind - 19
Lab - 70.84% (+23.71%)
C - 11.38% (-4.80%)
UKIP - 5.41% (-1.44%)
LD - 3.70% (-20.83%)
BNP - 3.70% (N/A)
Green - 3.63% (+0.84)
Ind - 1.35% (N/A)
Reasonable result for UKIP finishing third albeit with a lowish percentage. Disaster for the Lib Dems and a cracking result for Labour.
Very well done to Chris Cassidy in coming 3rd in what is not known as strong UKIP territory.
What was the percentage turnout?
Very low at 12.9%.
Change from 2010
Labour 70.8 +23.7 +24 +18 +22
Conservative 11.4 -4.8 -12 -9 -9
UKIP 5.4 -1.4 +5 +5 +5

Lib Dem 3.7 -20.8 -6 -6 -10
Green 3.6 +0.8 -4 -4 -5
Ind 1.4 +1.4 +1 +1 +1
The Lib Dems got 1178 votes here in 2010-last night they got 52.

It's certainly another interesting result for UKIP and BNP (for different reasons), in the light of the similiar result in Oldham East where the former out-polled the latter by some substantial amount.
UKIP seem to be absolutely cementing themselves as the 4th national party.
