All the candidates in the by-election were Jewish. Both the tory and the Labour man attracted block votes from, in particular, Orthodox Jews canvassed via their own connections. The Labour man's list of people he thanked on election night was mostly of Rabbis, no pretence at all that this mobilisation was what brought out those large numbers.<br />

<br />
Most people around here think the LibDems are the natural alternative choice to Labour if they happen to be looking for an alternative. And there's only one or two seats between the these two parties when you look at the whole borough. But now we see the Tories appearing out of nowhere.<br />
