Tories take Henley, BNP beat Liebour
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – nobody stands a chance of winning a by-election but the Conswervative at the moment.
John Howell took 56.95% of the vote and ended up with nearly a 10,000 vote majority.
Liebour came fifth and lost his deposit, being beaten by the Illiberal Dumbocrats, the Green Party and the BNP.
UKIP came a disappointing sixth but they won’t be as disappointed as the English Democrats who came 8th behind the Monster Raving Loony Party. The Miss Great Britain Party, bizarrely, put up two candidates for the same election. I don’t think they quite get how it works because their combined vote would have put them above the English Democrats in 8th place.
If the last few election results are anything to go by, Liebour are likely to find themselves in third place at the next general election.

That’s no real surprise.
Labour isn’t the party of the working man anymore, it’s more the party of the lawyer or social worker or any middle class professional. Anybody who examines the legislation enacted by the nanny state can see that most of it (purely by chance?) creates more work for social workers, paramedical professionals and of course lawyers.
The extension of the nanny state isn’t to benefit civil servants but rather to help middle class porofessionals maintain their standard of living.
The white working class (by far the majority of the electorate) no longer have a party championing their interests so they voted either conservative or BNP. It’s the only way to frighten the f****** back to our side!
It’s the only way to get them to take us seriously and pay us attention!
