£5.60 per vote

[Divisive Cotton]

i see that labour spent a staggering £112,000 on their recent failed Blaenau Gwent byelection campaign - so that's £5.60 per vote

whereas the independents spent £6,756 and £6,725 respectively.

so there

I must admit that cheers me up! £100k spent on losing to an independent on a shoestring, when all they had to do was to not piss the sitting MP off (ditto his constuents) in the first place.
a fitting rebuke to a party which seems to have not realised the dangers in leaving their core support so far behind.
