What about the people who voted for Labour in 2001? there were not fed up.
What about everybody who didn't vote Labour in 2001. They were fed up. And there were more of them than voted for labour.

If the Tories win Rochester and Strood, it could end up in court!

If it does, it'll be to prove a point rather than to reopen election since the court will in likelihood take rather more than the 4ish months the MP will serve for before parliament is dissolved in March.

It is a loophole which seriously needs closing though.

It seems the Telegraph are the only ones making since, No one can state anything until after the scottish ref vote, because if Scotland leaves the Tories are going to win. Mind you the Guardain would make you think otherwise.

What other peoples views on the outcome or are there any big factors which will come into play?

The people who comment on Conservative Home represent a tiny fraction of those who might consider voting Conservative. Of the overwhelming majority who don't frequent Conservative Home, for most the name on the ballot paper is a mere formality.

Oops - meant rosette. But yes, you're right. Rather like the red rosetted donkeys round my way.
