East Dunbartonshire

An expected easy Lib Dem win accompanies a Conservative collapse that is a terrible omen for the latter’s prospects in May.

Romance fraud? Embezzlement? Alleged electoral fraud? An absolute corker of a tale behind this by-election, though the outcome will be less wild: Lib Dem win.

Labour manage a better result than most recent trends, largely staying static whilst the SNP vote collapsed. (Sorry for delay, data was not forthcoming. How annoying.)

The last of our Councillor to MP by-elections, the Lib Dems are starting a quite distant third, but that hasn’t stopped them pulling off big wins before.
