A bit surprising that the LibDems managed to increase their share in these circumstances  |

A very fair point if you can point out where the ramping is taking place. e.g. That's a joke not a ramp. Though I think that may well have been the source now we have the result. Is AD Stewart a good friend of his local Labour (current or former) colleague John Cowan? They appear to be of a very similar personality. |

Maybe, but they have managed to go even lower in several by-elections recently!

Yep it was the seat held by Ken Weston in 2011.
Some people seem shocked that UKIP did not do better or gain a result in four figures. UKIP's performance doesn't surprise me at all here. UKIP are not very strong in the Trafford area, or in Greater Manchester generally (apart from small pockets in parts of salford). Some people seem to be thinking that great UKIP results that happen in counties such as Kent and lincolnshire and cities like Rotherham are going to happen everywhere.

Interesting comment thirdchill given that there's apparently a ton of money going on UKIP to give Labour a real challenge in the Wythenshawe and Sale East Parliamentary by-election. Hopefully those having a punt on the Kippers will be out of pocket! |

Hopefully those having a punt on the Kippers will be out of pocket! Think they will be out of pocket. To win here, they would have to do better here than in Rotherham, getting at least 10% higher (or even more) than the Rotherham result to win this seat. I can't see that happening no matter how much money they throw at it. Also they need a candidate as good as Diane James was in Eastleigh. |

The result in Altrincham next door was pretty poor. I would have thought that they will fail to get 2nd here.

I suppose this more rightly belongs in the Parliamentary by-election thread, but certain members of your Party - in Parliament and in the media (Dan Hodges) - are suggesting that the Conservatives run only a token campaign so as not to split the anti-Labour vote and privately encourage their supporters to back UKIP to embarrass Ed Miliband; feasible and/or desirable do you think? |

I wouldn't mind doing that in Rotherham, but not in Manchester, we should beat UKIP here. Labour should retain this seat very very easily, can't see Miliband under any pressure. |

You're giving a very good impression of thinking this is real. What's next? It appearing on page 23 of the Mail on Sunday? I reluctantly congratulate the author on his success. Three years in the party, I've seen a lot to know that things like this aren't always a spoof. What's the point of parody when UKIP Councillors themselves generate this sort of publicity: news.uk.msn.com/uk/ukip-councillor-blames-floods-on-gay-marriage978655 |
