Another By-election

Another election, another SNP victory. This time in the in the Highland ward of the Perth and Kinross Council. Is this the way it is going to be from now until independence? SNP victories?

The sister of the previous councillor won an emphatic victory. Kate Howie gained more than double the votes of her nearest rival. Is this a sign of how well the SNP are running the country, or is it just a decision based on local politics?

Result
Kate Howie, SNP, 1,891
Graham Rees, Tory, 940
Andrew Kenton, Lib Dem, 229
Anne Chatt, Labour, a paltry 97

Turnout 43.6%
