  Pundits' Guide — Authority: 464
  Commenter " jad " suggested earlier this week that it was about time to retire the Nov 9, 2009 by-election coverage from the top of the main page to its own blogpost, and get back to nominations progress for the 41st General Election. So for posterity here are the party scorecards and charts for future reference. ...

• Two polls, same timing, different outcomes. Eh?

  
  politicalbetting.com — Authority: 141
  How can we explain both MORI and ICM? One thing you must not do, when you see a shock polling outcome such as the survey for by MORI for the Observer this morning, is immediately to conclude that it must be a rogue or an outlier. The fact is that we don’t know. You can only label a poll like that with the ...

  CON 37% (-6) LAB 31% (+5) LD 17% (-2) OTHERS 15% The delayed survey has the Tory lead down to just 6pts There are reports about that a poll due out tonight is “very good for Labour “. We haven’t seen any numbers yet and this post will be updated when we get some. Which pollster it is I don’t ...

  Kerala Letter — Authority: 409
  BRP BHASKAR Gulf Today The ruling Left Democratic Fronts defeat in the three Assembly by-elections in Kerala was not entirely unexpected but the failure of the zealous bid by the Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) to snatch at least one seat has left the rank and file demoralised. The by-elections were ...

• Haggis, Neeps and Liberalism #11: Lessons from Glasgow North East

  
  Liberal Democrat Voice — Authority: 478
  Labour’s crushing victory in the Glasgow North East By-election was hailed by the victor Willie Bain as a resounding endorsement of Gordon Brown and a “a resounding ‘No’ to David Cameron.” Well, maybe in Glasgow North East, but I suspect extrapolating the Labour victory in this constituency as having huge ...

• Are the Greens’ polling numbers the most suspect?

  
  politicalbetting.com — Authority: 141
  Is this a polite way of saying “I’m not voting”? Another poll this morning, the ComRes one for the Indy on Sunday, has a huge 19 percent share for “others” including 6 percent for the Greens. This is out of line with other firms but follows a 5 percent share in the ComRes poll at the end of October and, ...

• Is Michael Thrasher right about a hung parliament?

  
  politicalbetting.com — Authority: 141
  Why won’t the pre-1997 polls comparison die? Michael Thrasher gave an interview for Sky News yesterday afternoon in which he built upon the article written for their website, inferring that the election is heading towards a hung parliament. In it, he made various claims and inferences that really shouldn’t be ...

  And another thing... — Authority: 580
  THOSE who want to believe that next year’s general election will be a 1997 in reverse might want to consider the following fact: in the last eight years of Tory rule, they won not not a single parliamentary by-election. I don’t have time to do a Google search on which seats Labour has held in the last eight years ...

• Labours "Resounding Victory"

  
  The Appalling Strangeness — Authority: 138
  You can tell when a party is really down on its luck when a win that should be taken for granted is hyped as a "resounding victory." Put simply, Glasgow North-East would return an over-ripe turd to Parliament if it was fighting the election under the Labour banner. After all, they sent a pig in a suit to Parliament ...

• Labours Glasgow win has lots of silver lining

  
  Conor's Commentary — Authority: 466
  Id forgotten how it used to sound waking up to the Today programme announcing a comfortable Labour victory, as occurred last night in Glasgow North East . Congratulations are due to the team involved and to the new Labour MP, William Bain. As well as being a Labour victory, theres plenty more to savour in the result. ...

  The Libertarian Alliance: BLOG — Authority: 438
  David Davis Glasgow North-East 58% of 30%: that’s about 17% of the electors on the list. The GramscoFabiaNazis would almost certainly have got in anyway , so why they needed to rub the point home by stuffing all the boxes and issuing 12,000 postal votes is a mystery. Maybe they needed to show the sort of ...

  My political blog and other musings — Authority: 139

The Glasgow North-East by-election took place yesterday to replace Michael Martin, who stood down as a member of the House of Commons when he stood down as Speaker. Labour won the by-election comfortably with 59.4% of the votes cast. The SNP got ...

• Is this the start of Labour’s recovery?

  
  politicalbetting.com — Authority: 414
  Does the stunning victory have a national significance? As expected Labour have cruised to a victory in the by election caused by the resignation of Michael Martin. Technically this is a gain for the party because previously the seat was held by the Speaker. It’s the numbers themselves that are quite dramatic and ...

• Is this why you should bet on a 38+ by-election turnout?

  
  politicalbetting.com — Authority: 141
  Does Glenrothes point the way for November by elections? The weather reports from Glasgow point to a pretty nasty day as voters go to the polls in what is likely to be the last big test of opinion before the general election. This has led to some pundits to suggest that we are in for a low turnout and, indeed the ...

  Polling has just closed and we’ll all have to wait. I’m on Labour at an average of 0.83/1 on Betfair and, of course, I’m betting that the turnout will be greater than 38%. Mike Smithson

  Chantal Heberts takeaway for the NDP from Mondays by-elections: (W)ith the Liberals under Michael Ignatieff going nowhere fast in Quebec, federalists are looking at other options. While the Conservatives are the main beneficiaries of the Liberal vacuum outside Montreal, the NDP is picking up support on the island. ...

• Don Martin’s negative spin on Tories by-election wins

  
  Crux of the Matter — Authority: 132
  Words matter. Surely, parliamentary press gallery (PPG) journalist Don Martin knows that. So, why does he write with such a poison pen whenever he writes about the Conservative party or the prime minister — even when they have just won two by-elections, something few governing parties are able to do? Yet, the ...
