I had no idea how monumental this by-election result is in the context of UK election history.
The constituency of Tiverton and Honiton has existed in current form since 1997 (with the merger of separate constituencies of Tiverton / Honiton).
As others have noted, Tiverton had been represented by a Conservative MP since 1924 (or 1931, depending on party label).
The region of Honiton had returned a Conservative MP since 1885. We're talking pre-Jack-the-Ripper days (1888).
