Labour Win Safe Labour Seat Shock!

Labour candidate on winning the Barnsley Central by-election:
Mr Jarvis said the result sent "the strongest possible message" to David Cameron and Nick Clegg.
Quite how a Labour candidate winning a seat that they have held since it was created in 1983 represents any sort of message, strong or otherwise, is a little beyond me. Particularly since only 36% of the electorate bothered to cast a vote. But you have your moment of splendid hyperbole, Mr Jarvis. Then pack your bags, head off to Parliament, and make yourself comfortable on those opposition benches. Because I rather think you'll be there for a while...

It was quite interesting that there was such an shite Liberal Democrat result & a strong kipper performance, beating the BNP by some distance. I think this confirms what has been clear since before the general election, that the BNP are a fairly shite party in general. Yet the people who vote for them have generally not gone away or changed their minds (apart from the fact that a lot of them stay at home), so what is their next move?
