6.6% - a deposit retaining result for, uhh, nobody.
Bloody good showing. It must be the highest ever placing for spoilt ballots.

Apart from the Psychedelic Movement and the enigmatic Olga Childs, the other candidates all appear to be different flavours of far right.

Second place then. Wonder if that's ever happened before.

The psych candidate had, as well as ‘stop the covid mania’, put Tommy Robinson into the House of Lords as part of his manifesto. And Childs seems to be a putin apologist. So all of them, really.Apart from the Psychedelic Movement and the enigmatic Olga Childs, the other candidates all appear to be different flavours of far right.

It was late, I could have misheard. I see the Beeb has the psychedelic racist in second, so clearly I did!Those Downton and Fransen numbers dont match what is currently reported here:

It surely has, but they only started including spoiled ballots in turnout figures relatively recently.
Otherwise I reckon the 1940 Middleton and Prestwich by-election would have been one example. The only two candidates were Conservative with 32036 votes and British Union of Fascists with 418 votes. The number of spoiled papers was not recorded.

Jayda Fransens best result ever? And presumably a lot of people voted for the Psychedelic guy as a protest without realizing he's a right-wing cunt.

Add up all the votes for the many and varied nazi crackpots on the ticket and it's not a great look for the 'City' of Southend.
Small constituency too, over 10,000 fewer voters than mine.

Getting over 100 spoiled ballots is incredibly rare and even less common forty other fifty years ago, so I’d, sadly, suspect that the fash would have beaten them then.

Stuart Broad is probably the sanest candidate of the lot, tbf!

Firth has a stinking mandate from 18% of the electorate.

Given the 'choice', unsurprisingly this by-election was the third lowest turnout recorded since 1945:
Consequently, Firth's 'mandate' from just 12,792 voters, (18% of the electorate), corresponds to some of the absolute total votes seen by winning MPs with much lower shares of the vote:
