Results of the Husborne Crawley By-election - Reaction

Marston Moretaine (Beaker Democrat)  (46 votes)

Having previously been cheated out of the constituency at the General Election, I am of course disappointed that I have obtained far fewer votes than last time. However this is a natural response on the part of the electorate to the austerity programme that the Coalition has been forced to put in place. When we stood seven months ago on a platform of free University education, cuddling fluffy bunnies and closer European integration, we were not to know that we would actually end up in government and have to do real governing and stuff. Since we never thought we would have to deliver on any promises, I don't see how we can get the blame for doing the opposite to what we said.

Ardwulf (Conservative Beaker) (3 vote)
It was obvious that I had no chance in the first place. So what the heck. I've been in Portugal mocking the natives during the campaign.  Thanks to the boss for turning up and looking like he cared. It looks like the Beaker Democrats are heading for a pasting, so that's the main thing.

Rorgwild (New Beaker) (93 votes)
That I have won this by-election proves that, in the last seven months, the political scene has totally changed in a way that it won't over the next four-and-a-half years. The electorate has spoken, and New Beaker will clearly be elected in a landslide at the next General Election. Frankly, David Cameron might as well resign now.

We're mad, we are. Really mad. Why won't anyone be my friend?
