The people of Peterborough don’t come well out of this.
The big red fancy dress fella only got 5. That’s a small family. |  |

Good for them. Can ITFC do the same? Guess a draw would be better than 7-1 |  |

A candidate who ‘likes’ anti-Semitic social media posts narrowly defeats a candidate who openly uses racism to question the result.
That’s Peterborough for you! |  | | |

I think that, if you ever worked there, you would find Peterborough a bit more diverse than that. It has marked similarities to Ipswich...well, apart from the football history. |  |

Party's of sails Brexit out taken the wind.....rejoice! Just don't add up BP + Tory party against the rest as it's a bit depressing (only 48.4 % turn out though and not many Brexit party will have sat at home I imagine)
Edit ...turn out was 67.5% last time. [Post edited 7 Jun 2019 7:28]

"Brexit party insiders said Labour’s reliance upon a mainly Pakistani vote in inner-city wards had been the difference between the parties. “Some of these houses had 14 people in them registered to vote. It would be interesting to see what proportion voted Labour,” said one."
....classy!. | |

Yeah they should probably make it a vote per household to give the salmon skinned leafy suburb dwellers more of a chance......some of them live 1 to a house you know! | |

Two things.
Pakistanis could not vote in the Peterborough by-election, only citizens of the United Kingdom could.
Not everyone with a pigment a bit darker than Nigel Farage has a family tree that includes Pakistan. There is India, Bangla Desh, Nepal and so on. | |

By-elections often have lower turn-outs than Generals.
Moreover, Brexit Party may work well as a means of protest/putting pressure on the Government - but would you want them actually running the country? |  |

was farage there, waiting with his victory speech. i expect he sneaked out the back door.
i expect he was hedging his bet by sitting in a car round the corner, so he could make a grand entrance if they won or a quick get away if they lost |  |

From the BBC Website..."Mr Farage made a brief appearance at the count before the result was announced but left without talking to reporters."
I'm sure he would have been equally camera-shy after a Brexit Party victory!
He has previous in Peterborough too...

Nice clear breakdown of the ethnicity of Peterborough in that article too - I'm sure the 6.6% Pakistani population made all the difference... |  |

Apparently he left the count 'just before the result was announced', according to the Guardian. | |

Why does everyone have to jump on things I say, all I am saying is he is probably right.
Doesn’t mean I agree in what he said or that it is wrong. I support Brexit but do not want Farage as pm no way. He doesn’t even have a manifesto | | | |

Because you made a bald, unqualified assertion that what the BP spokesman said was correct. If you'd explained your position, as you now have done, then everyone might not (or, at least, not as vehemently). [Post edited 7 Jun 2019 7:56]

Labour won by 700 votes, so yes if they all voted labour it made a huge difference. But they are entitled to cote the same as I am so have no problems with it, but you have to be pretty narrow minded to not see that it made a difference | | | |

Only accounted for a small proportion of the Labour vote share, tho. Thousands of other people must also have voted for their candidate.
That is also making the assumption that nobody of Pakistani heritage voted for the Brexit Party. Is that true? | |

Again twisting my words on here. Of course loads of people voted for labour and I as I said I am not supporting the Farage to be pm.
I am just basing it on my experiences on having been to Peterborough on many occasions. | | | |

I'm not twisting your words, merely pointing out that the Labour victory cannot be attributed to just one section of the electorate (especially if it is impossible to prove they all voted en bloc for that party). | |

Fair enough, but you can not deny that Peterborough has a huge migrant influx.
And of course they are not going to vote for Brexit party, and why should they.
You have to be stupid to not realise that certain regions will get certain votes, and that is all it is here. Just like how Torres used to win around these parts every time and how labour held the north more. I am not being nasty just staying a fact | | | |

So you are saying that no Pakistanis are Uk citizens, that’s not very nice. There are loads of Pakistanis who are born in the U.K. and are citizens just like you and me and have the right to vote accordingly | | | |

Interesting result. It's a black eye for the Brexit Party, low turnout in a heavily leave voting area where the incumbent lost their seat through very poor behaviour and that sometimes reflects on their party in the bye election.
Labour didn't lose loads of seats to the Brexit Party in a leave area, a few maybe but their losses look to have gone to the Lib Dems with the Tories being most hit by the Brexit Party. [Post edited 7 Jun 2019 8:24]

Could you provide some actual evidence to back up the 'facts' you're stating? Otherwise they're not really facts. | |
