It is a lesson for the conservative-liberal coalition of Prime Minister David Cameron: When a by-election to the House in northern England, the candidate has won the opposition Labour party - well behind its two rivals from the ruling camp. London - After the victory in the constituency of Oldham East and Saddleworth, the opposition Labour Party called it a wake-up call for Prime Minister David Cameron and Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg.Indeed, a highly anticipated election to the House sat after BBC figures, the Labour candidate, Debbie Abrahams, clear by 42 percent of the vote to Elwyn Watkins, the candidate of the Liberal Democrats (32 percent). The candidate of the Tories, Kashif Ali, received 13 percent of the vote.
Cameron needs to "hear, think again and change his course," also called Abraham. In the parliamentary election in May last year, the candidates from Labour and Liberal Democrats had still been almost equal. The by-election was necessary because the first ballot had been challenged for misrepresentation of the Labour candidates of his liberal Democratic challenger, with success.
It is the first defeat, which must plug in the conservative-liberal coalition in London since taking office in May 2010. The first time since the war to a Government involved Liberal Democrats are now in the country in favor of the voters dropped to a record low of seven percent. The smaller government party is alleged to have caved in to the Tories on important questions, such as the drastic rise in tuition.
