It has become quite fashionable for political parties to claim a vote for them is the best way to beat Reform.

 

Elections don't lie.

 

Since last May's local elections there have been 224 Council By-Elections (for 227 Seats) according to the website Council By-Election Results — Election Maps UK

 

They have summarised the results showing the number of seats won and the net position in terms of gains and losses

RFM: 78 (+66)
LDM: 63 (+20)
CON: 28 (-22)

GRN: 18 (+3)
LAB: 17 (-52)
Ind: 9 (-9)
Local: 5 (-6)
PLC: 5 (+1)
SNP: 4 (-1)

 

So when we Liberal Democrats claim a vote for us is the best way to beat Reform it is a claim backed by the evidence of 224 by elections across the UK
