It was a “very close” result Brydo, in a by-election in which the Lib Dems were expected to romp home , but really only scraped in “.
Last week and previous to that, the Tory polling showed a massive drop in support, which Bouncy Boris nearly turned around, despite his candidate being kicked out as an MP !
Jane Dodds (Liberal Democrats): 43% (+14 on 2017)
Christopher Davies (Conservative): 28% (-21)
Des Parkinson (The Brexit Party): 20% (+20)
Tom Davies (Labour): 8% (-10)
Lady Lily Pink (Monster Raving Loony Party): 1% (+1)
Liz Phillips (UKIP): 1% (n/c)
Fieldwork: 10-18 July
There were no Green or Plaid candidates as the backed the LibDems,
But Jo Swinson denied the party had “played” the system by striking a deal with Plaid Cymru and the Greens.
Some people are saying that the Tories ‘crashed out’, – but they didn’t actually, they lost (and second doesn’t count of course,) yes, and they will have to live with the consequences , but not lost as dramatically as some would like us to believe, and I will bet that in a General Election following our EU Exit, Bouncy Boris and the Tories will not have to worry about rebels and Remainers and majorities, Boris will be unassailable for 5 years!
