I guess the 1 or 2% of the vote from the likes of Reclaim/Reform could make all the difference.Interesting to see that Reclaim, Reform & the independent candidate (Paul Halloran who got 6,400 votes there last time) are all standing aside in Batley to strengthen the Tories chances there in 3 weeks time.
Not only that, you have George Galloway standing who may siphon off a bit of the Muslim vote there to weaken Labour's chances further. The LibDems & Greens are also standing to split the non-right vote further. So much for the non-Tory alliance.
It's not looking good for Sir Kier.
Labour have almost always polled over 40% of the vote so will be interesting to see their percentage this time round.
