Danny sweeps three

The Tories took all three by-elections.

No surprise in Kilbride which is a staunchly Tory seat, for for that matter in Ferryland which was last represented by a Liberal in the 1950s.

In Port au Port, the race was reportedly close, however a heavy press put on by the Tories seems to have pulled more Tories to the polls.

Overall though, the voter turnout is down dramatically. It follows a trend that has been running since the race to replace Fabian Manning where the turnout exceeded the general turnout by a small margin.
