Henry Vann has thanked everyone who supported the Liberal Democrats in Bedford and Kempston in the General Election, following the announcement of the result in the early hours of this morning.
Stephen Robinson has thanked the over 20,000 people who voted Liberal Democrat in Chelmsford and the team of Liberal Democrat helpers who delivered such a brilliant campaign. The result in Chelmsford saw a collapse in the Labour vote (from 27% to 11%) and almost no shift of support from Lib Dem to the Conservative. The result in detail is here: http://cmld.org.uk/results/1711.html Commented Stephen Robinson:
Thank you to all those who voted Liberal Democrat in the recent election. Our candidate, Julia Bateman, received 7,350 votes, an increase both in the number of votes and the share of the votes cast for the Libdems in Gedling.
After an uncertain night across the UK, Hitchin & Harpenden Liberal Democrats could at least take some comfort from a small increase in the share of their vote locally.
Local Liberal Democrat Councillors have reacted to the Hung Parliament.
Local Liberal Democrats are celebrating a massive swing in last night's General Election result. In what transpired to be an inconsistent night for the Lib Dems with gains and losses scattered across the country, the local team raised a glass for candidate Tania Exley-Moore's 6.5% swing.
