Dramatic vote surge in Swansea City by-election

 My doubts about next week's English local government elections may have been misplaced. In what has been described as a rock-solid Labour ward, in a Labour-controlled city, in a nation which reacted more strongly than England to the Clegg betrayal, Liberal Democrats registered a challenging second place from a standing start. The Conservative candidate finished last.
