[Politics] By-election in Honiton and Tiverton.

Lib Dems will walk it. The citizens of Mid Devon are revolting

I wouldn't be surprised if the Lib Dems win it ... but it's a massive mountain to climb, so if I was a betting man I'd put the fiver on the Conservatives at the best odds I could find. I've then got the following outcomes to look forward to:
1. Lib Dems win. At which point I'll be happy to have lost the fiver.
2. Conservatives win. At which point I'll be happy to pocket my winnings and looking at the probably very small margin of victory and thinking that's still bad news for Boris.

A fiver bet?
I’m a Labour man that hates the Tories, but in any event where it’s just a case of a fiver the 5/2 shot is the bet (£17.50 return) 2/7 is too short and the other two “rags” is merely a case of wasting money.

I was born in Tiverton….
Case rests m'lud
I think Wakefield will go labour, but it wouldn't surprise me if Tiverton remains Tory. The numbers of people who claim they 'obviously don't back Boris' is still remarkably high on the Social Media site I use, whilst their other posts on political subjects tell a completely different story.
Many claim they will abstain, but when it comes to the crunch they probably won't. There is a reason for the well known term 'shy tories'

5/2 looks large price for a 2 horse race. large majority to make up, will come down to the turnout, how many Tories will protest vote or sit at home.
been bit surprised why Liberals are assumed the contender when behind Labour recently in this seat.

Great chance for a protest vote, wonder if Boris will get more trouble if it’s two landslide wins?

For someone who posts a lot on politics, I'm pretty sure you must know why. You and a couple of others are pretty funny the way you try to twist things into your political viewpoints.

LDs are odds-on with most bookies, I'd think. Labour MASSIVELY odds-on for Wakefield. Let's hope these two results will be a further wake up call for the decent Tories to come together and come up with a scheme to shift Bojo quickly.

The trouble with this scenario is that most ‘decent Tories’ are no longer MPs and, due to Tory Party rules, only MPs can put the rubbish out.

I saw a photo the other day of a LibDem diamond poster on the Honiton Conservative club window. I thought it was someone being mischievous, but it turns out it wasn;t.
