Labour have won the Barnsley Central by-election, while the Lib Dems slipped to sixth in the South Yorkshire seat.
UKIP, the Conservatives, the BNP and an independent all finished ahead of the Lib Dems, who came second in the seat in last May's general election.
Lib Dem candidate Dominic Carman said his party had been given "a kicking", while Labour's victorious Dan Jarvis said it was a message to the coalition.
The seat's previous Labour MP was jailed for fiddling his expenses.
The votes as reported by Aunty Beeb:

The top bods in this one horse race rely on the None Of The Above party's non-participation.
If you don't vote, heck, don't even spoil your vote to register your discontent, you have no right to complain about what these bastards do in your name.
