2001 saw the start of the LibDems positioning themselves to attract Labour voters disappointed with Blair(ism), though of course this only really took off with the Iraq war. Charles kennedy was a good bloke(RIP) but they soon got their halo knocked off  |

Lowest average weekly wage in a Conservative-held constituency: £450, Blackpool South.
Highest average weekly wage in a Labour-held constituency: £870, Islington South & Finsbury.
(The constituency with the highest average weekly wage, Wimbledon, at £890, only narrowly evaded capture by the Liberal Democrats last year. The constituency with the lowest average weekly wage is Leicester East, at just £420.)

Leicester doesn't come up top in any of the 'most deprived' tables I've seen, either, though I understand there are 'multiple dimensions' associated with that one other than income. I can understand why the highest average wage one isn't a more 'well known for being rich' one like Kensington, Chelsea or Tatton due to some deprived spots within, nor some rural home counties one as some may be less well off, perhaps instead more wealthy in terms of savings compared to income. |

Turnout in the 2019 UK Election: 67.3% Turnout in the 2020 US Election: 66.9% Considered a low turnout for Britain by historical standards, almost exactly the same figure is the highest in living memory for the US. |

In the 2020 US Presidential election, not only did Joe Biden poll the most votes ever for a successful candidate (75.2 million) but Donald Trump polled the highest votes ever for a losing candidate (70.8 million).

2020 looks to be the second election in which Georgia and Vermont both vote Democrat, the other being 1992.

And another byelection on the following day, with both past and new MP rather better known today than the other 12 taken together.
I assume there was a conscious decision to fill all the Conservative vacancies on the same day, but why? Dulling the impact in case of a shock loss in one of them? And why was the Labour seat filled the very next day?

In Labour's 1966 landslide victory, the Conservatives were reduced to as few as 3 seats in Wales: Barry, Denbigh, and West Flintshire.
