Lib Dems romp to victory (again)

What a great day in Scotland.

Mrs. Rosemary Bruce has won the by-election in Aboyne, Upper Deeside and Donside with a majority of 98 in round five.

Gordon Brown's Labour party - well, they didn't even stand a candidate!

A great day in Scotland for the Liberal Democrats, while Labour, the SNP and the Conservatives are all a little bruised this afternoon and hurting.

This morning the SNP were gloating over a poll, as we in the Liberal Democrats keep saying, it's not about polls it is about real votes in real ballot boxes and the votes between the two by-elections were as follows;

Scottish Liberal Democrats - 3,069
Conservatives - 1,579
SNP - 1,192
Independents 1,022
Labour - 210
Christian People's Alliance - 115
BNP - 44
Solidarity - 27
