Both Labour and Lib Dems defeat the tories in the two By Elections.
Labour regained Wakefield in Yorkshire by over 5,000 votes against the tory candidate.
LibDems overturned a 24,000 tory majority, to take Tiverton by more than 6,000 votes, with a 22,000 majority.
The Lib Dem victory will be one of the biggest landslides ever in England.
Tho in Scotland, SNP overturned similar Labour majorities to wipe out Labour in the 2015 General Election.
However in England, we have to go back nearly 100 years, to early 1930s to see such a huge majority wiped out.
Presently, the Prime Minister is brushing it all aside, having already declared in advance he will stay in post regardless of the results.
Whether enough tory MPs agree with him, remains to be seen!
The Wakefield result came in first, followed about 10 mins later, by the Devon outcome.
