Wigan Central By-Election Result

Unfortunately I was unsuccessful at the by election. The results were

Labour - 1165
Conservative - 652
Independent Conservative - 393
UKIP - 189.

Torys have now lost the argument of a split vote as even if you add mine and the Tories vote Labour won quite easily. I guess this was a vote against all the government cuts.

Thanks for all those that voted and supported me. Also a big thanks to all the helpers too.
