Despite the hard work of many Green Party activists over the past few weeks, Sarah Teather, the Liberal Democrat candidate, won the Brent East by-election.
Noel Lynch made a good showing, but failed to improve on the general election result. This is probably due to a number of Green supporters voting tactically to make sure that Labour lost the seat. Unfortunately this sends a very mixed message to Tony Blair as the Lib Dems shifted their position on the Iraq war so often that a vote for them can hardly be described as an anti-war vote.
