The Labour Party has won the City of Chester by-election with 61.2% of the vote to the Conservatives’ 22.4%. That is a big victory and represents the Tories’ lowest share of the vote in the constituency since 1832. For context, this is a seat David Cameron’s party won in 2010.
Of course, true political nerds are more interested in the swing, which was 13.8% to Labour. This is good, but is it good enough to win a majority?
