We have just had a byelection in Newark :

David Cameron has led the Tories to their first byelection victory in a quarter of a century as a governing party after they easily beat off a challenge from Ukip to hold the safe seat of Newark.

In a significant boost for Cameron, who made four visits to Newark, the Tory candidate Robert Jenrick won with a majority of just over 7,000.

Jenrick, who became the first winning Tory byelection candidate under a Conservative prime minister since William Hague in 1989, secured a comfortable victory with 17,431 votes. The Ukip MEP Roger Helmer came second place on 10,028 votes – a healthy Tory majority of 7,403. Labour came third on 6,842. The turnout at 52.79% was high for a byelection.

The Liberal Democrats suffered a humiliating result as they finished in sixth place behind the Greens and a local hospital campaigner. David Watts won just 1,004 votes, losing his deposit, as the party's vote fell by 17.4 points. Labour and Lib Dem sources said that some of their natural supporters voted tactically for the Tories to keep out Ukip.

The European elections are the only elections I really wish I could vote in, it all seems so daft.
