17,113 vote for David Davis and freedom.

To quote the Grauniad. "For all the mocking of his unusual gambit in calling the byelection, Davis managed to get out 17,113 supporters, in a poll of 34.5%, which was well above most predictions."

Again in the Guardian Iain Dale writes "Davis's detractors point to the fact that he only got 27% of the entire electorate to vote for him. They conveniently forget that at the last general election only 24% of the entire UK electorate voted Labour into power." Article here.
