Well, as expected the Conservative won, with the stoner coming second... if you exclude the number of spoiled ballots - of which there were over a thousand.

Turnout of just 24%. "Fuck you all" seems to have been the winner.

I find it quite heartening that if all the nutters had stuck with just one candidate they'd still have been over 10,000 short. I think it's safe to say Labour, LD and Green voters stayed at home, so the fascist share of the vote is Very Small Indeed. Still, Silent Majority.

Think that's a decent show for the Tories in the current climate.

Terrible words from the new MP bigging up her majority.

She will fit right at home in the new Tory Party. I guess it’s doubly sad they lost such a good MP.

It's interesting to note that yet again all the fringe candidates came from the far-right. For all their shouting about "respect," they don't have much for the political process.

Pretty much the same in Batley and Spen 2016.
