We are always told not to read too much into the results of mid-term elections. But the Conservative by-election victory in the so-called “red wall” town of Hartlepool, its first there for 57 years, plus its success in a number of local councils around the country, are plainly significant. Sitting governments are notoriously vulnerable to protest votes on these occasions. Why, then, has it been so different this time?
