Another Seat gained

In recent years Wales has not been a great hunting ground for the Lib Dems

Yesterday there was only one by-election in the UK and it resulted in another gain for our party this time in Swansea

Fairwood (Swansea) Council By-Election Result:

🔶 LDM: 29.3% (+19.9)

🌹 LAB: 22.6% (-9.3)

➡️ RFM: 17.0% (New)

🙋 Ind: 11.5% (New)

🌳 CON: 10.3% (-30.3)

No PLC (-18.1) as previous.

Lib Dem GAIN from Conservative.

Changes w/ 2022.

Our candidate Beth Rowe and the Swansea Liberal Democrat team came  from fourth to win.

This followed news that Bristol Liberal Democrats have announced that councillor for Avonmouth & Lawrence Weston, Zoë Peat, has resigned from the Labour Party and joined the Liberal Democrats in City Hall.

Zoe is quoted as saying “Ultimately, my decision comes down to the kind of politics I want to practise. At a time when the cost of living crisis and wider political instability are driving division across our country, I have found hope in the Liberal Democrats’ willingness to work collaboratively, pragmatically and constructively with others in pursuit of positive change” 

If that style of politics is one you like come and join us at Join the Liberal Democrats
