Liberal Democrats pleased with Modest Improvements in Council By-Elections
It was in 'Towster', you see..
After good results last week the Liberal Democrats are pleased to see that this week has shown further modest improvement in support.
The Independent wrote:
“Liberal Democrats made two landslide gains from Tories in the latest council by-elections, suggesting their voting support has not been dented after the resignation from the Government of Chris Huhne.
Their candidate Chris Lofts took Northamptonshire County Council’s Towcester division on a massive swing of more than 30% since the 2009 shire polls. Party colleague Lisa Samiotis triumphed at Towcester Brook, South Northamptonshire District.
This brings the total of Lib Dem gains this month to three, after a win from Labour last week.”
Out of 8 district/county by-elections this week:
Liberal Democrats gained 2 seats from Conservatives and held 1;
Conservatives gained 1 seat from UKIP and held 3;
Labour gained 1 seat from UKIP.
Out of the 3 town/parish by-elections this week:

Conservatives held 1 seat:
Labour gained 1 seat from UKIP and held 1
