Corby by-election result

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-20345196

I'm reminded of an old Roger Miller song from the 60's: "England swings like a pendulum do." It would appear that the pendulum is starting to swing all right.Corby is very much a bell-wether seat.

Swing right would that be?

From what I've seen and heard, more far right parties than ever before look as if they might be gaining ground.

UKIP saved their deposit(by just 108 votes) which is certainly more than the LibDems did.
Overall, there was a 12.67% swing away from the Tories towards Labour in Corby,which would give Prime Minister Miliband a 100+ seat majority,if repeated nationwide at the 2015 election.

Miliband will never be prime minister. Sorry.

By elections mean sod all.
 
You're on.

You might want to clarify which Milliband!?

The currently elected party leader with neither personality nor ideas or the brother who should have been elected by his party? If the non-elected brother gets the party leadership he deserved, it'll be a closer race.

Agree. 100%

I mean of course Ed!
 
Can't abide either of the Milibands, both as bad as each other but at least David does have a smidgeon of personality to show for himself.
 
We really would be up **** street if Ed Milliband ever became Prime Minister, would rather have Boris (can't believe I just said that).
