Reblogged from Notes from a Broken Society:
After the lies, the by-election. The resignation of Chris Huhne as MP for Eastleigh, following his guilty plea to a charge of perverting the course of justice, opens the way to what could be a defining by-election contest.
At the 2010 General Election Huhne held the seat with a majority of nearly 4,000 over the Conservatives - who had held the seat comfortably until a by-election in 1994.
Yes, we shall soon be enjoying another byelection. This one seems to be a battle between the two Coalition parties, but I'd keep an eye on National Health Action and the Labour vote.
