LibDems surprise victory!

The LibDems have overturned Labour's 11,000 majority in Dunfermline & West Fife to take the seat with an 1,800 majority in yesterday's by-election.

Given the high profile given to the Labour campaign by Gordon Brown - who holds the neighbouring seat - this seems to be quite some feat.

A highly unscientific poll of friends and colleagues in the constituency - all two of them - on Wednesday had it down to a race between SNP and LibDems for second place behind Labour.

I wonder if they will be able to hold the seat in the next general election?
