TORY MP Andrew Bowie has claimed by-election defeats in Tamworth and Mid-Bedfordshire were “not gigantic” as he blamed the results on people staying at home., the West Aberdeenshire and Kincardine MP insisted people “are supportive of what we’re doing but just were not prepared to come out and vote for us”.Mid-Bedfordshire, a seat previously held by Nadine Dorries, is a seat the Tories have held comfortably for 90 years where they had a majority of 24,000.
When Bowie was then presented with a graph showing just how seismic the shift was in both areas given their history, he remained adamant the party was not failing.He went on: “There was a reduction in the number of votes cast for Labour in Mid Bedfordshire and they only added 800 in Tamworth. There is no groundswell of support for the Labour Party.
“We know throughout history, by-elections have been an opportunity for people to cats a protest vote or not engage in the process. I’m quite sure that’s what happened today.” Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
