ceemageTrying to think when there was last a GB by-election without a Labour candidate. I think Haltemprice and Howden in 2008, when David Davis stood for re-election to protest Labour's proposals of detention without charge for terrorism offences.
This by-election had a record 26 candidates - meaning that, if the votes had split evenly enough, all of the candidates (including the winner) would have lost their £500 deposit.
