Another huge Lib dem by-election victory

Over the last few weeks everyone in my neck of the woods (Ashfield) has been working hard on a Notts County Council by-election. The seat in question has always been rock solid Labour. However, the lazy Labour Party and the "resurgent" Tories were shown up last night by an absolutely stunning result for Jason Zandrozny (our Candidate) and Stuart Bray (agent and shortly Deputy Director of Campaigns).

Full result was:-

UKIP - 70
Labour (defending the seat) - 435
Tories (who assume that as their leader now has hair they can win without trying) - 222
Liberal Democrats (who work hard for people and deliver real results) - 1979

So, a 44% swing and the death of the Tories in Ashfield.

A big personal thank you from me to everyone who helped, to Nick Clegg and Simon Hughes for their time,  and to Stuart Bray, who's value to the party cannot be underestimated. When will the other parties learn?

Oh, and my best to Geoff Hoon, who's backyard is collapsing under him.
