Lib Dem support still grows

July 2, 2010 4:03 PM

Farming country Doubtless much to the disappointment of Labour, right wing Conservatives and sections of the media, the Liberal Democrat support is not wasting away. The electorate has more sense. There were seven by-elections for major Councils on 1st July. Liberal Democrat farmer, Michael Huffer, took the Clee Ward of Shropshire Unitary Authority from the Conservatives increasing the LD vote by 23.4% and LibDem Garfield Kennedy took the Shepton West seat of Mendip District Council from the Conservatives with a 17.8% increase in the LD vote. Locally we did not contest Ribby with Wrea. The other four elections were held by the defending party.
