Whilst a Tory victory in Norwich North looks very likely the by-election has been characterised by a general sense of apathy.  It appears that voters have not been polled and unusually for a UK by-election the count won’t take place until the morning, with a confirmation of the result not due until noon.

The Daily Telegraph is reporting that the turnout will be low with one possible explanation being disenchanted Labour voters not turning out.

The full list of candidates in alphabetical order are:

Peter Baggs (Independent)

Thomas Burridge (Libertarian Party)
