Yet that didn’t stop her shedding 8k of her sister’s 2015 vote.
It's normal to shed in a by-election, particularly when Galloway is on the prowl.
That's true, and a fair point...but that's why, earlier in the thread, I showed that Leadbeater's vote had contracted significantly more that could be accounted for by lower turnout. And, yes Galloway was there to take votes, but UKIP took a higher number of votes against Cox in 2015.

If a candidate sheds more votes than turnout explains and challenger candidates, that is noteworthy.
