    I hope Paddy Ashdown likes the taste of hat.

    Interesting that UKIP outpolled every other party but one.

    UKIP doing better than Tory and Lib Dem in Sunderland. Even Greens did better than the Liberal candidate. Looks like the tide is turning in UK politics.

    Lab hold, Lib Dem's have been decimated. UKIP beat Tories.

    Yes - UKIP doing very well there. Up 19% on 2010 and Tories down 3%.

    Maybe its a lot more complicated than we think

    So the Labour share in Sunderland went up 5% right? That's roughly what the polls were saying.

    Edit - Actually the change in vote share is almost exactly what polls were predicting.

    I suppose this is all coming down to the "650 by-elections" theory.

    it's puzzling for sure.

    I'm not sure it is a puzzle. There is so much shame in saying you vote for the Conservatives. I see it everyday in my office.

    Conservative splitting the ukip vote. If there's a second election before 2020 ukip can build on that.

    Safe Labour seat in a safe Labour northern stronghold.

    UKIP are going to stop Labour winning this election? Have they taken Labour votes?

    Is that Lab gain enough to make them feel confident?

    Even Tony Blair would win for Labour in Sunderland.

    The North east like London may go differently -but elsewhere maybe not.

    We need somewhere outside the NE which isn't a safe seat.

    PS Vote Tory instead of UKIP - get Labour.:D

    UKIP will eat heavily into the Labour vote in their northern heartlands.
