Labour gain the seat from Lib Dems, wonder if it had anything to do with the extra 9% of postal ballot applications. Figures as always don't add up, Labour has a very high figure when the government is in free fall, who exactly is voting for them. As for the Tories being the government in waiting great to see the BNP get nearly 4 times as many votes as them.
