I think the Heavy Woolen District Independents lean right. Their chairman used to be UKIP and they were for Brexit at least. So there are other parties on the right and the left that could be pulling votes from Labour and the Tories.
Labour trying to the Lib Dems and Greens stand down in this constituency. And twitter wants Labour to stand down in Chesham and Amersham so Lib Dems can have a better shot at winning.
Lets see if they can strike a deal to help each other out. If not, could be another good night for Conservatives and BJ.

Hi Brent. The date of the Batley and Spen by-election was just announced about 8 hours ago https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-leeds-57257577. Hope you don't mind that I made the change.

Not at all. Part of the collaboration of a collaborative website.
Thanks for clarifying.
Now we will wait and see what Halloran and Galloway will do.

It's becoming evident that Galloway's entered the race purely for revenge reasons. He's presenting himself as the anti-Labour, anti-Starmer candidate: “If Keir Starmer loses this by-election, it’s curtains for Keir Starmer. So, if for whatever reason you think that the current leader of the Labour Party needs to be replaced, I’m your man.”
Starmer's removal is Galloway's theme, Galloway's raison d'être. I see nothing otherwise compelling about his platform or his "Worker's" party.

we're just waiting for the official monster raving loony party now lmao
I'm going to be disappointed if we don't have a candidate from monster raving loony party in this race. If only for the fact that they would likely embarrass the anti-Islamist Parties by passing them in the total vote count.

16 candidates filed. No surprises except the Greens chose not field a replacement candidate after Peltier stepped down due to his tweet history being discovered.
Jansen runs as an independent and not the Britain First banner.
The English Democrats, UKIP, Freedom Alliance, Alliance for Green Socialism, and Christian People's Alliance were all late filers.
In one of the higher Muslim population constituencies, the voters will have at least three anti-Muslim parties/candidates to choose from.

Breakdown of other questions asked in the poll. And it looks like Galloway could play spoiler.

A poll that shows Galloway as a spoiler with twelve days to go might give Labour enough time to spread the "two horse race" message and convince voters to think tactically. If this poll was being released the weekend before polling day, I think Labour would be doomed.
The Keir Starmer ratings, oof.

Lib Dems do owe Labour for Chesham.

Charismatic.
