This constituency went back to Tories in 2010 when they stopped being rabid right. As soon as they've gone rabid right again it's gone back to Lib Dems. There are other constituencies like this across the country.

Yes another remoaner accusing everyone who voted leave of being intolerant racists.

Nearly doubled vote - with help from Greens.
Tory vote halved.
Labour chap seems a Corbynite from what he's saying - lost 80% of their vote and the deposit..........

He really was very graceless. Not a good ad for Corbyn.

Only in the very near vicinity of Richmond. . The ex Liberal , SW, and the more northern seats, voted Leave and don't have planes landing there.

Depends who stayed at home and who switched.
wondering whether this by-election might be a sign of things to come
the Tories not contesting the seat as they would be worried about splitting the vote
UKIP and Greens not putting up a candidate and Labour almost campaigning on behalf of the Lib Dems
could we see much more of this strategic approach in future ?
