It's nearly 28% of eligible voters so way above the required 10%

Brexit Party will fight and it's a constituency that voted 60% leave so they could win.. Nige himself must be tempted to stand

The difference being, we welcomed the Yanks back then.... Trump, now... not so much.

The Brexit Party
busy getting voters for the June 6th By Election.
Mike Greene in the Centre.

[joeysteele]

It will be an interesting by election.
The breakdown of votes and turnout very interesting.

I never thought I'd say this but I hope the Lib Dems win this one.
Anyone other than the Brexit Party.

I really cannot see Labour or the Conservatives winning.

Maybe Trump's not the ideal person to be given the red carpet, but it's not worth burning an important bridge for the sake of someone who'll be gone in 2024.

My Correction
Trump was in France
not UK , today

[Results are expected in the early hours of Friday and coverage can be watched on BBC1HD This Week Extended show from 23:35.

The seat was won by Labour in 2017,
but the party only beat the Conservatives - who had held
it since 2005 - by 607 votes. ]

[arista]

Labour - Lisa Forbes
has won the By Election
beating the Brexit Party by 634 votes

So the Brexit party couldn't even win in a predominantly leave area

[joeysteele]

This shocked me.
Yes, much lower turnout
The Brexit party soared but failed to soar enough, in a by-election.

A general election would have a bigger turnout and some return to likely both Labour and Conservative Parties.

The majority last night is actually slightly larger than the majority in 2017.

If the seat cannot be taken with the momentum gained from the European elections for Farage and his re vamped UKIP.
In a by-election.
That doesn't signal great chances elsewhere, hopefully.

Clearly nowhere near enough strong leave voters in this by election to really break thtough then.
Nice to see that arrogant, smug grin wiped off Farage's face.

I thought and feared this would go to the Brexit party.
On a much smaller turnout and even with dramatically falling percentages of votes, Labour actually increased their majority of 2 years ago.

Despite the shocking issue of their last MP there,the anti semitism enquiry and the farce around the Trump visit plus still no clarification on a new public vote.

No way did I expect a Labour win last night, not in Peterborough, which changes MPs and Parties regularly.
