UKIP are a bigger threat to Tory votes than they are to Labour.
In Heywood and Middleton, Labour's vote proportion from 2010 marginally increased. The UKIP gain was at the expense of the Tories and LibDems.

Originally posted by alluvial View PostPossibly, but both the Conservative and Liberal votes collapsed with the majority going to Ukip. This could mean a lot more seats for ukip than predicted. However, I think the only thing we can say for certain now is that nobody knows what will happen next May.
Some of the old Labour vote went to UKIP.

By-elections are used to kick the major parties in the face plus the turn outs are often lower.
In Heywood the turnout in 2010 was 46,125 or 57.5% of those eligible to vote, while this October was it was 28,472 or 36%.
So it looks like people just didn't bother voting. Parties need to get voters to turn out and vote"You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment
