This looks curiously like an American election where we have a fight between two main parties, one representing the young, the educated and the progressive, and the other representing the older generation, the 'life is my college' brigade' and the reactionary.

He went into the contest with a 12,442 majority, but after being barred from standing for the Labour party following various grubby scandals decided to chance his arm as an independent. It didn’t work: the veteran politician Tony Lloyd (who gave up his Manchester Central seat in 2012 to become Greater Manchester’s police and crime commissioner) won 29,035 votes to Danczuk’s 883
