It has to be more than that,its stunning to me..
It does show Corbyn is electable. Despite all the supposed turmoil in Labour,all the anti Corbyn rhetoric they have shown they can still romp home in these Northern seats. Its also sadly to me a disaster for UKIP,that they could only secure 6 thousand votes shows their momentum has shuddered to a halt. |

In Oldham the white population declined by 5.3 per cent over the decade between the two counts to stand at just over 187,000. Over the same period both the Bangladeshi and Pakistani communities increased by 48 per cent making the 23,500 Asians in the borough represent 12.6 per cent of the population.

Several of the usual online stats resources put the 2011 Census Muslim population of Oldham at 17%.
Goodnight and God Bless to you all. Or Allah as some of you doubtless prefer. |

Very interesting, will be expecting UKIP to hit this hard as Corbyn won't represent many of the traditional Labour voters here.

Turnout was lower BB - always is in by elections. Labours share of the vote was up from 54.8% to 62.1%.

Awful result for UKIP and they know it - Labour in disarray nationally and they still held the seat with ease.

There is hardly any money being thrown at Oldham, just old fashioned canvassing. If the early polls are correct the result is going to be classed as very pleasing, because it keeps the momentum going from the GE which is always difficult. |

Tyson Fury is a UKIP supporter.
Tyson Fury no friend of Labour is against gay marriage and paedophilia,a family man. |

By:
I like Tyson Fury,I like his views.
I don't like the gentlemen that reintroduced servitude into Britain. I don't like the gentlemen terrorising old people in Ireland. I don't like the gentlemen bleating for ethnic status so they can sue the state more often. I have sympathy for fantasists who think they worked on the pyramids,employed hundreds in Australia and no matter where the shoot out is in America they were there. |

And the turnouts were ?
|
|
By:
Not really surprised although I thought the turnout might have been higher in the present climate. Still only about 23% actually voted Labour but only 17% voted for anyone else!

I'm not quite sure why the views of a 27 year old sportsman,who doesn't seem to be of above average intelligence are of any great import. However his Wiki entry says that in Sept he was talking about standing as an Independent because the govt was focusing too much on immigration and not enough on homeless people and those with drug and alcohol problems. Hardly sounds like a typical UKIP supporter. Could anybody clarify ?

The postal vote figure was 25.6%

On this showing, there is little the other parties can do in the North of England in those constituencies where the Peace-Loving block vote (via post) can be used to such devastating effect. Don't forget, Labour held BOTH Rotherham and Rochdale at the General Election, with BIGGER vote shares - results which were unimaginable to anyone with a sexually-underaged white daughter.
So… was this Oldham by-election result effectively a 'protest vote' about the killing of Jihadi John ? |
