By-elections

I stayed up to hear the results last night, and am pretty pleased that there was a substantial swing to the Liberal Democrats in both seats - 6% in Ealing Southall and 11% in Sedgefield.

David Cameron must be a very worried man. His candidates were pushed into third place in both by-elections.

Over in Ealing Southall (where I had my moment of fame as a balloon carrier) he had imposed Tony Lit as the Conservative candidate, to considerable rumblings from local party members. In spite of backing this well-known local figure, and describing the party on the ballot paper itself as 'David Cameron's Conservative Party', he failed to show any progress.
