BATLEY, ENGLAND - OCTOBER 20: Preparations take place at Cathedral House in Huddersfield ahead of the ballot count in the Batley and Spen by-election on October 20, 2016 in Huddersfield, United Kingdom. The by-election in the Batley and Spen constituency was prompted by the death of Labour MP Jo Cox, who was shot and stabbed in Birstall, West Yorkshire on June 16. Mrs Cox won the seat with a 6,057 majority in 2015. Former actor Tracy Brabin has been selected as the Labour candidate in the by-election with other main parties not contending the seat out of respect to Mrs Cox. (Photo by Ian Forsyth/Getty Images)
