Bermondsey 1983

(1/4) > >>

Filuwaúrdjan:
Time for a general discussion on the most notorius British by-election since...

JohnFKennedy:
Most people don't know what/where Bermondsey is, let alone about the by-election of '83 where Simon Hughes got in, Al. You won't get much talk except from yourself, a few other Brits and myself.

Peter:
Whilst I know that it put Simon Hughes into Parliament on one of the largest by-electoral swings in history, I know very little else about it. Consider, I wasn't even alive at the time of this election (and neither was JFK).

Tory:
I know that Simon Hughes represents North Southwark & Bermondsey(name change?).

What was so notorious about the election?

cwelsch:
This was an outrage!  A horrible scandal!  A prime example of the shocking brand of politics that plagues our culture!
