What a cock up. All Paterson had to do was apologise and accept his short suspension. Instead this has completely blown up in his face.

While it will most likely still be a Tory hold, recent events might at least inspire a serious effort being made.

A well-known local councillor running as an independent would be fun, and probably not that unlikely

If he had just swallowed his medicine, taken his suspension and come back there would barely have been a ripple.
Instead now the government have given themselves loads of adverse publicity completely unnecessarily and on top of that have to now defend a seat in a completely unnecesary by-election.
Politics, eh?

If the Lib Dems can’t win this then you have to ask where can they win. A must win for the yellow team.

You are a perpetual lesson to us all about one side of the LDs and it is reflected heavily on this Forum. |

Greens may aim for a healthy 2nd or 3rd place, building on their Oswestry base..?
