Byelections

I have not read any of the commentary on the results of the four by-elections last night but I do know that the Liberals won three of four.

So, if the MSM is true to form many of the political pundits in this country will be claiming that the Liberals had a terrible night last night.

I have stated many times before in this space that by-elections really do not have any predictive power for what will happen during the next general election but it does my heart good to know that that media pundits will always find a way to make any result look bad for the Liberals, regardless of the outcome.  It injects a certain constancy and predictability into an otherwise chaotic life.
