<p>The Liberal Democrats have conceded defeat in Oldham East and Saddleworth as the coalition suffered a bloody nose in its first by-election test.</p>
<p>Party president Tim Farron said its candidate Elwyn Watkins had come a &#8220;decent second&#8221; to Labour in the contest.</p>
<p>But there were early indications that the Opposition could have secured a majority of 3,000 or possibly even more &#8211; which would be a major setback for Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg and the Lib Dems.</p>
