Re: Who wants a Tory Government?
Following today's count, Smith won with a total 13,591 votes. Labour's Chris Ostrowski, who missed the final days of campaigning due to swine flu, received 6,243 votes and the Liberal Democrat candidate April Pond came third with 4,803 votes.
The UK Independence party pipped the Greens to fourth place by 4,068 votes to 3,350.
The 16.49% swing from Labour to the Conservatives at Norwich North was just short of the 17.61% at last year's Crewe and Nantwich byelection.
Turnout was 45.88% – down almost a third on the 2005 general election figure of 61.09%.
