Fantastic news to wake up to
Feb. 10th, 2006 06:12 amYes! Yes, yes, yes!
I mean, I know it's a by-election. And we tend to do well in those. But with the party in the middle of a somewhat messy leadership campaign, with one opionion poll putting support for us at 13%, and with a new Conservative party leader making some genuinely liberal noises in an attempt to take voters away from us, to know that we can still produce a 16% swing away from Labour is heartening news indeed.
(Oh, and thanks, Charlie, both for campaigning in the by-election and in leading the party up to this point. I'm not sure you're going to get the credit you deserve for this one, and I think you deserve quite a lot.)
Don't write us off just yet...
