It is really, Labour and Ukip will likely just be battling for third. I expect the Lib Dems will retain it anyway even considering the Chris Huhne scandal, the Tories could have chosen a better candidate

I love it Live

I hope the Conservatives win.
It is and always likely will be a 2 horse fight between the Conservatives and the Lib Dems.
Even in the 60s and in 1997, Labour didn't really have a chance in this seat to win it.

Depending on the damage done by this current ongoing Lib Dem scandal,I can still see a fair number of Labour supporters lending vote to the Lib Dems to beat the Conservatives.
For me though,the Lib Dems need to lose this seat to just maybe wake them up and realise they have to do something drastic to win any trust in them back.

There was a Great Live debate

the Tory candidate in the Eastleigh byelection.

Its Election Day

Cocky Clegg says he will win

Stop pulling that Dog - it wants a rest

[joeysteele]

I hope the Conservatives defeat the Lib Dems. Unless there is a really great swing to UKIP, only the Conservatives or Lib Dems can ever win here.
Sadly, Clegg has his get out clause,in fact others have too, except the Conservatives and UKIP.
Although the Conservatives can claim it is hard for a party in Govt to win by elections as to seats they already hold never mind gaining them from other parties.

Clegg can unfortunately be able to say that this scandal dogged the campaign and that turned voters away from them.
Labour can say, and probably rightly too,that their voters tried to vote tactically to help the Lib Dems defeat the Conservatives.

This by election is not really going to tell us much as to the next election though,we need a good battle in a by elections where any of the 3 main parties were in with a chance of winning in 2010.

Do you think arista that UKIP should have selected a better and higher profile candidate.I do,in fact I thought Farage may have taken this on.

As to Labour, the day that they'd ever come close even to winning Eastleigh, raindrops would be made of gold, its that unlikely ever.

Yes UKIP should have.


But Farage is the Euro King
so he could not do both.

Neil Hamilton, the former Tory minister who resigned over cash-for-question and who is now a senior figure in Ukip, said Eastleigh was now a three-way marginal. "My message is: get used to Ukip, because we will be providing the real choice [in 2015]," he said.

Yeah, c'mon Ukip, stuff the Tories .....

The Liberal Democrats have held on to the Hampshire seat of Eastleigh, with their candidate Mike Thornton winning a majority of 1,771 votes.

Mr Thornton said there was "no greater honour" than to represent the constituency, and pledged to be a "strong voice for every person" in it.

The UK Independence Party's candidate Diane James beat the Conservatives into third place by 1,012 votes.

The results indicate a 19.3% swing from the Lib Dems to UKIP.

Conservative candidate Maria Hutchings won 10,559 votes, representing a 14% reduction compared with her share of the vote at the 2010 general election, when she came second to Chris Huhne.

Catastrophe for Cameron ......
