Hi

I agree with the view that by-elections are not a good indicator for General Election forecasts.

However by what-ever standards, the Barnsley result does indicate that Clegg and his party are going to have a tough time convincing their own party members to vote for them in the future.

Barnsley obviously is a very strong labour area and will probably never be anything else.

It will be interesting to see what happens in a lesser Labour dominated area for a more clear indication.

What odds Clegg for the high jump soon ???

Cheers
