Tories beat Labour in by-election
« on: July 24, 2009, 12:25:50 PM »
Quote from: BBC Web Shite
The Tories have taken Norwich North from Labour with a majority of more than 7,000, in the first Westminster by-election since the MPs expenses row.

Tory candidate Chloe Smith won with 13,591 - more than twice as many votes as the Labour candidate Chris Ostrowski who had 6,243 votes.

7,000 majority!  lol:

I was watching the Beeb coverage earlier. They were saying this does not mean that Labour will necessarily lose the next general election  noooo:

Always interesting to flick between Sky and BBC covering the same story
