Ouch. Very poor results.

Excellent. The big question is: how the HELL did Labour WIN two seats? There is something worrying going on here. "Labour" and "win" haven't been in the same sentence for many a month now.

Another humiliation for UKIP.

What's excellent about that?

It depends how they did last year (which I don't know). 124 votes (5.82%) is better than what they have been doing recently where they have been getting on average 2-3% anyway so I wouldn't call it a "humiliation".

Perhaps you should think about joining the Tory Party instead.

One reason that the Labour Party keeps winning seats is becuase its opponents don't vote often enough.

In Wigan West, Labour won with 40% of those who voted.

As only 33% did vote this is just 13% of those who could vote.

The BNP are involved in three by-elections this week in areas that I think they would believe are more favourable to them.

I would still not expect an increase of 10% for Labour in Dalton...
