Lib Dems slump to sixth as Labour win Barnsley poll

[Barman]

Labour have won the Barnsley Central by-election, while the Lib Dems slipped to sixth in the South Yorkshire seat.

UKIP, the Conservatives, the BNP and an independent all finished ahead of the Lib Dems, who came second in the seat in last May's general election.

Lib Dem candidate Dominic Carman said his party had been given "a kicking", while Labour's victorious Dan Jarvis said it was a message to the coalition.

They are blaming the small turn out   .

Couldn't possibly be the disillusion and disappointment of the electorate then

I note 14,724 people are still in denial.
