Has the date for the Yorkshire by election been announced yet or could the Tiverton by election be held on the same day? If they are going to be bad for the conservatives then they might want to get both out of the way on the same day? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh my mistake I thought he had confirmed his resignation for the sake of his constituents? My brain is addled with all this political drama on top of the unusually busy DDP the past few months.

Spookily enough, I was born in Tiverton, before I withdrew even further into the hinterlands. I really can't see an electoral upset here. This is a deeply backward and insular constituency, rife with inbreeding, paganism, suspicion of change and a general disregard for the law. Hostility to the EU in mid Devon would negate the Lib Dem's chances and Labour have never thrived in this part of the world. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,646 Posted May 14, 2022 So, curve ball for the Conservatives if Neil Parish decides to stand as an independent in his old seat (which - apparently - is under serious consideration). Anyone's guess how much of a vote A TRACTOR he would prove to be, but could split the agricultural vote and let someone else slip into the seat. Still a problem in that Labour (2nd) will want it and Lib Dems (who'll argue they're best placed to pull pissed-off tory votes) will likely hurl efforts at it ,so could turn into a proper fight! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-devon-61438467 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have heard from a relatively convincing source it’s an MP from the West Midlands, however I’m more convinced that it is the same name as the one who was arrested a year or two ago for sex offences, whose constituency is in Essex. He’s now trending on Twitter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
