Oldham East & Saddleworth Result

The ballots are still being counted in Oldham East & Saddleworth but the result is a foregone conclusion.

Smarkets.com have Labour at 94.3% to win with the Lib Dims a very distant second at 4.7%.  The Tories are on 1.4% and UKIP, BNP and "any other" are at 0.1% each.

The people of Oldham obviously have very short memories.  That or the large number of unemployed people are worried about losing their benefits and having to find jobs and the worryingly large immigrant population are repaying the party that opened the door to unlimited immigration.
