Dems. taking over UK
I don't really think so . They just held on to the seat which was a safe seat for the Lib Dems. Bear in mind this was a bye election and the real test will come in 2015.
The UKIP party were the real winners as they knocked the Cons back.
If they want to stand up and be counted, Nick Clegg needs to go.j.m.o.

Local councillor Mike Thornton claimed 13,342 votes for the Lib Dems, with 11,571 for Ukip's Diane James and 10,559 for Conservative candidate Maria Hutchings.
Labour's John O'Farrell was fourth with 4,088 votes.
Mr Thornton said in his acceptance speech that the result represented a "great night" for his party nationally.
"A strong signal of support for (leader and Deputy Prime Minister) Nick Clegg, an affirmation of our role of national interest within the coalition and a huge boost to our party's mission in government to build a stronger economy in a fairer society so that everyone can get on in life," he said.
He said it showed those who had "written off" the Lib Dems had been proved wrong, adding: "We have done it and we will do it again."
Ms James hailed her second place as "a humongous political shock" that represented a "seismic shift" in British politics.
And Mrs Hutchings appeared to be fighting back tears as she thanked opponents for a "clean campaign".
A by-election was called in the Hampshire constituency following the resignation of disgraced Lib Dem MP Chris Huhne.
