By-elections

So yesterday, we had 4 by elections.  All won by Lib Dems.  In Torrington, UKIP had the most losses while the Lib Dems had the most gains.  Since this is a clear Pro Brexit to Pro Remain shift, do we think these by-elections are indicative of a shifting national mood on Brexit?

The British are very conservative by nature. We don't like change. Where we feel significant change is necessary, we like it done quickly. That's not happening.

I think there has possibly been a small shift. But for everyone who would change their vote from Leave to Remain, I think you'd have someone who's seen the EU show their colours and would change their vote from Remain to Leave.

Agree with Rusty, I think it's more a case that the kippers are completely irrelevant now.
I'd like to see a lib dem resurgence, but they're as lost as Labour and the Tories currently.

By-election results

Poor turnout of voters and not much change except LibDems are gaining a bit and UKIP (who?) loose out.
