So it is true then. The electorate does not like to be bothered with unnecessary elections.

Well I am a "proper Lord" - of sorts anyway - and I am staying up to see if it is true. I am supposed to be on the Politics Show tomorrow but might get bumped off for Ms Olney I suppose... Even ArmchairCritic at his most angry wouldn't accuse the BBC of political assasination! |

1.30 has been mentioned for a declaration, we shall see....... I guess that means declaration will be around 2am? It's "imminent". Which, in by-election terms, means it will be within the next three hours. |

No it isn't. It is perfectly true. One of the few constituencies in the country where you can say that pretty en masse unironically. Ah! But do you know what sophisticated means? I agree that it does apply to them. It mean sophisticated not 'sophisticated'. |

I think the Tories would still have a good chance of winning back Richmond in a General Election.

I still want Zac to win, despite him being a pathetic egotistical twerp. Another MP for the Lib Dems would give an extra boost to the even more pathetic twerp, Tim Fallon.

I wonder if Zac Goldsmith will actually poll fewer votes tonight in Richmond Park than he did for Mayor of London in May.
EDIT: Practically certain that he will - he got 20,391 just on polling station votes in the wards which make up Richmond Park.

Yes, that makes perfect sense doesn't it Shirley you stupid cow. The results of a nationwide referendum should clearly be overridden on the basis of a by election in a single constituency. |
