Even compared to recent local by-elections, that UKIP collapse is pretty crushing, especially in South Yorkshire.

Unless I'm badly mistaken, this is the first instance since May of Labour recovering share from UKIP?

I doubt it. UKIP's share has been down in just about every by-election contested since May. Are you just talking about wards where Labour and UKIP are in the top two?

The immigration pot has been simmering all summer and will soon be near to being served. The figures are dauntingly bad for Cameron/Conservatives/Britain and as this seeps into the general consciousness there will be a reinvigoration of UKIP voting always providing the leadership is less flaccid and gets a firm grip.

Predicting the demise of UKIP off a 14% turnout is not going to be much use.
If it does,then it also suggests that Labour recover when they don't actually have a leader, and that Yorkshire First are a growing force.

Another Town Council By-election from yesterday. Marsden ward for Nelson Town Council in Pendle caused by the death of Conservative Councillor Michael Landriau.
Janice Taylor (Conservative) 217 - Elected.
John Rowe (BNP) 182
Laura Blackburn (Labour) 142
Ruth Clegg (UKIP) 56
Always a competitive ward, though until recently between Labour and the BNP.

"interesting" that the BNP outpolled Labour and reduced UKIP to fourth. Tends to suggest that like the SDP there is still a group of individuals ploughing the furrow in this area, when nationally the profile has been reduced to zero. |

Of course, Marsden now has the sole BNP councillor at principal level anywhere in Britain. IIRC the Tories have been competitive there recently and even won it - what is notable is that the LibDems show up here relatively rarely despite their local strength. |

I note that the report says that the Labour candidate "was the only one out of the three candidates to stick to the point and fight for the seat on issues like speeding". Sounds like the Tories and UKIP went for each other in a big way. |

It seems to me the UKIPs Anti EU fox has been shot by the forth coming European Referendum and they are now a one trick pony with migration being their one trick. |

And there's me thinking that Plaid Cymru were the kings of misplaced confidence and optimism. The last point is valid however. UKIP seem to have lost direction badly. |

I'm pretty than I read than after the 2013 election, some leaders of the East European community led big efforts to integrate East Europeans into the local fabric and than they were relatively successful. That by-election result would go in that sense. |
