to be fair, the BNP's vote share fell from 8.9% to 6% and they remained in fourth, so it wasn't really a gain for them. the nsdap could probably finish above the lib dems right now :D
 
I know it's a safe Labour seat but to be beaten by UKIP, the BNP and an Independent is really pretty fucking dire. :D

Never mind that - it's Barnsley - to be beaten by the Tories is pretty fucking dire too :D

Happy morning. Thank you thank you Barnsley!
 
Wonder what spin moonie will regale us with.....??

Well it's a safe Labour seat, so it doesn't bear any reflection on the wider electoral picture. Plus, it's the electorate - it's not like they voted either us or our coalition partners into power. And it's in our manifesto that we get thumped in by elections. And Labour left such a financial mess that we couldn't afford to fund it properly because we're trying to restart the economy. And it's the bankers fault. And David Cameron couldn't get Darren Gough to stand for the Tories, so their vote collapsed. And it's not fair. Wah, wah.

Interesting how the Tory vote held the Lib Dems up in Oldham and Saddleworth, but didn't this time round. It may be a new phenomenon, the sinking ship abandoning the rats :D
 
Fantastic result, to be beaten by an independent let alone the BNP and UKIP.

*applauds*

:D

Roll on May, I live in a Libdem ward and will be quite happy to vote Labour to get them out.
 
Lib-dems stuff ed in local elections last night too - came behind the Greens in Cardiff, behind the BNP and the English Democrats in Salford - votes under 5%...
 
Lib dems are fucked, if their vote can't increase in a place where the previous Labour MP was imprisoned for fraud - they are definitely fucked
 
the other big story is that the hard right came second, and other RW parties got ok votes as well,

oh, and no left wing challenge in what was once the the heart of socialism...

BNP share of the vote went down.

but dont let that get in the way of your Eeyore-esque analysis.

I can understand a traditional Labour area like Barnsley wanting to punish the Coalition and particular the Lib Dems who they feel have betrayed them by working with the Conservatives.

You are right though, that they have switched to UKIP is not great cause for celebration.
 
Uh, it was the lib-dem voters switching away from your party - not labour supporters switching from your party.

That's it though is it? A lost deposit and that's it? More of this complacency please.

There isn't anything positive about this at all. If people would rather UKIP and the BNP than the Lib Dems that is the result they get. I didn't go over to Barnsley myself to campaign, although there was a call to go and campaign against BNP and ensure they didn't beat us.
