David Davis's publicity stunt is over with him walking the by election but what was the point. Labour did not stand and the issue he was raising was not discussed apart from in a few papers and question times with 23 people losing their deposits it became a sort of reality tv election.
Davis will now go back to the house to sit on the backbenches like a stale fart behind super David Cameron probably sniping like Whitelaw famously did to Thatcher which was the start of her downfall.
Did the bloke go doodle alley, is he losing his marbles or is he a brave man of principles ?. You decide.
Former shadow home secretary David Davis has eased to victory in the Haltemprice and Howden by-election with a 15,355 majority and 72% of the vote.
He quit his as an MP in June, after a terror detention vote, to fight for his seat on a civil liberties platform.
The Tory MP said voters had delivered a "stunning message to the government".
The turnout was 34% with, the Green Party coming second on 1,758 votes and the English Democrats third on 1,714. The Lib Dems and Labour did not stand.
Out of a record 26 candidates, 23 lost their deposits after failing to attract 5% of the vote.
