Re: Local by elections

Spring Hill By Election Result

Labour 528
Conservatives 247

Turnout 22% (780 / 5 spoilt)

Majority 281

PB told the Telegraph "This was a fantastic night for the Tory Party, The Labour vote collapsed and the Tory vote went up".

He didn't control his temper well. He spat his dummy out about chair arrangements and where were chairs for the Tories, had a go at council officers suggesting how they shoudl do things he was telling them, and talking loud about the upcoming Rishton by-election. Marlene Haworth was very upset by the result.

I felt sorry for the young Tory. He entered the count at 9.30pm and no Conservative came to the count to support him till 10.10pm.
