Green territory. The BNP will probably make progress, since it is a sh*thole and that's where they tend to do best.

1. I don't vote
2. I don't live in Farnley

Of course if I did, I'd probably vote for the Tories in this instance.

Andy Parnham - Green 1183
Rosie Spencer - Lib Dem 1151
Stephen Towler - Labour 1009
Peter Hollings - BNP 556
Glenn Broadbent - Tory 428
Michael Davies - AGS 45

I'm very pleased to see us beat off the full byelection machines of the Lib Dems and Labour here. Another David v Goliath result, which should be a lot more comfortable for us in 2010.

A good win for the Greens.

The Greens show that with a targetted well worked areas so called minor parties can get elected.

Well, yeah - Buts its a by-election. You know how mental the LDs & Lab go, when presenterd with these. For a minor party, with a much smaller activist base, this is an achievement.
