>> By elections are like giant killing acts by non league teams in the FA cup.
I'm not quite sure what the fuss in the press is about today.
1) The incumbent party won, despite a scandal blowing.
2) The incumbent was representing a party in government and at mid-term.
3) A small party did well in a By-election, but didn't win.
4) Someone else came 3rd.
5) There's no runner-up prize, nor is there a bronze medal.
When you look at it like that, you realise that someone somewhere is desperately trying to make news out of nothing.
