Great news everyone!

Last night was the Dunfermline By-Election.

Labour down 17%, Lib-Dems up 16%, turning an 11,000 lead for Labour at the last election into 2,000 lead for the Lib-Dems.

This being Scotland, Conservatives were nowhere to be seen.

That's not true about Conservatives not being seen in Scotland.

Bloody Upper Nithsdale.

So a liar and a scumbag was replaced by a non-entity member of an utterly pointless party. Super.
Fail to see why this counts as "great news" mate.

I voted since it's where I live now and to be honest I wasn't surprised at the switch. Dufermline has had loads of new houses built recently aimed at people who want a biggish house without paying edinburgh prices. Driving up through the new builds it looks like the area you'd expect to vote Lib Dem - families in our age group with 2.4 children. Lib Dem by far ha sthe friendliest approach to kids and schools. Besides Labour shot themselves in the foot over bridge tolls!!
