Interesting By-Election Coming Up In Cumbria After Xmas
http:// www.bbc .co.uk/ news/po litics
I wonder if Nigel Farage will have his 8th go at getting into Parliament ?
After all, didn't the new UKIP Leader say that they were going to target traditional Labour constituencies ?
Reed is in a traditional Labour seat but he only has a small majority....2564.

UKIP did indeed get less than 1000 votes in 2010, but they improved that to 6,000 in 2015.Labour lost 3,000 votes between 2010 and 2015.
Also, two thirds of voters in Copeland, Cumbria voted for Brexit.
I am not saying UKIP will win, but they should not be complacently dismissed.

If eurosceptic voters are satisfied with the way things are going they will go with the Tories, as we saw in Sleaford. The Tories will say vote UKIP get Labour and Labour will say vote UKIP get the Tories. Europhiles will vote LibDem.
At the moment Labour and UKIP are up aganst it: the former because no one claims to know what they stand for on the EU issue, the latter because there isn't really any point to them just now

Copeland has been represented by Labour since 1935. I can't see the Tories winning. Even during Mrs Thatcher's landslide, it stayed solidly Labour.
If the Government gained a seat during a parliament it would be a good result for the Conservative. It is 34 years since a Government party made a gain.
