Another defeat for Bush-Labour.
| Quote: |
Labour came a humiliating fifth place behind the BNP and the Greens last night in the Henley by-election caused by Boris Johnson�s election as London Mayor.
Gordon Brown�s first anniversary as Labour leader began with the party securing only 1,066 votes, losing its �500 deposit, and having its working majority in the House of Commons cut to 65, as John Howell, the Conservative candidate, succeeded Mr Johnson in the Oxfordshire seat.
The Liberal Democrats consolidated their position in second place through their candidate, Stephen Kearney, with the Greens� Mark Stevenson in third and Timothy Rait, of the BNP, in fourth. Richard McKenzie, the Labour candidate, was fifth with only 3.07 per cent of the vote. |
