To be expected really, Barnsley has maintained its ties to Labour throughout the years. A friend of mine lives over that way & he & pretty much all his family & relatives are staunch Labour supporters & unionists through & through, blinkered you might say but it's like a tradition where they come from.

As to the Lib-Dems & Cons, forgone conclusion they'd take a proper hiding at the polls, that being the case a fair bit of that withdrawn Lib-Dem & Cons support has been re-chanelled into UKIP amongst others, so it isn't out & out in favour of Labour by a long stretch. With your man being ex-military it may not sit well in the future with certain elements of the populace thereabouts. So watch this space.
