General election

Election results for August 2013

The Conservatives have managed to extend their winning streak to 4 in the voteyourgoat election, possibly due to this slow summer season, creating little change. However, this was their most narrowest of victories to date with UKIP hot on their heels. This month also saw Labour and the Liberal democrats jump to 3rd and 4th respectively. Labour in particular had a good election receiving their highest percentage of the vote to date. August then has perhaps produced more questions than answers. Is it the case that we will begin to see Labour and the Lib Dems rise to further prominence as we may have expected from the beginning? Could it be that next month will see our first non-Tory victory? And perhaps most importantly, how has this change occurred in what we just called a slow summer season???
