David Davis resigned his seat as an MP and as a shadow cabinet minister in protest against the government's plans for longer detention of suspects and the introduction of ID cards. This has probably ended his political career, but last night he won the bye election. The Lib Dems didn't stand as they agreed with his stance, and Labour didn't stand as they knew they would get a hiding.

It was the largest number of candidates ever even without the two big parties and some of the usual nutters who agreed with him.

Candidate and party details here.

I noticed that David Icke, the Lizard Man, lost his deposit.

Still 110 votes to many for somebody everyone knows is a raving loony.

Yes, he doesn't know when to give up.

More surprising are the candidates who got less than ten votes. You need the signatures of ten of the electorate to be eligible, so people signed up for them and then voted for soemone else, or not at all.

And will you please fix the tags in the third link in the OP? Thanks
