The Labour Party faces two awkward by-election contests this Thursday, each caused by the resignations of sitting MPs.


http://news.sky.com/story/copeland-and-stoke-on-trent-central-by-elections-will-be-decided-by-turnout-10774051

Both Jamie Reed in Copeland and Tristram Hunt in Stoke-on-Trent Central knew that a deeply divided party would struggle to retain them.

Normally the Opposition, particularly at this stage of the electoral cycle, is firmly on the front foot - buoyed by their own supporters and boosted by protest voters.

Therefore defending these constituencies, held for decades by Labour, should be a formality.

That they are not is a measure of how far and how quickly Labour's traditional electoral base is eroding.

Losing Copeland, where the Conservatives pose the greatest threat, means Labour would experience the rare embarrassment of an opposition party losing a by-election to the Government.

The last occasion was in 1982.


Ipsos/MORI found almost two in every three voters were dissatisfied with Mr Corbyn as Opposition leader, a larger number than that recorded for Michael Foot.
