UKIP has to lead Labour by 5,240 in Rotherham to take it to a second round. Dang, I really want a second round!  |

According to LabList Labour need 44% in Rotherham to win on first preferences.

The Rotherham result is obviously being delayed by the higher turnout there.

Irrelevant, Labour got enough votes themselves to win it. |

Total without Rotherham Lab 59,054 (52.3%) UKIP 32,675 (28.9%) C 14,600 (12.9%) ED 6,539 (5.8%) UKIP has to lead Labour by 5,240 in Rotherham to take it to a second round. I think it is that UKIP, Tory and ED combined would need to lead Labour by that amount |

I'm hearing that Labour was 800 in the lead in Rotherham, and has won on first preferences with 50.02% overall.

Surely that merits a recount? Why on earth would it merit a recount? Because only a few misplaced votes could reduce the 50.02% figure to 49.99%. This is about following procedurals I thought, not about the fact that it would be almost impossible for Labour to lose from 49.99%. |

Given the circumstances of the by-election, a poor result for UKIP IMO

Conspiracy theories already doing the rounds on the twattersphere I see... about a police commissar by-election. There is no hope for humanity.

Given the circumstances of the by-election, a poor result for UKIP IMO In Rotherham, yes. In Barnsley, Donny and Sheffield, the fallout from Rotherham wasn't too likely to provoke a vast, mass reaction. |

Agreed, I was talking more specifically about the Rotherham result (though I thought UKIP might perform better elsewhere anyway)
