The Liberal Democrats have won South West London electing Gareth Roberts, continuing the removal of Conservatives right across South West London. This is the final Conservative representative in the Borough of Richmond.
Responding to the news that the Liberal Democrats have won more seats than the Conservatives at the 2024 Local Elections, which has only ever happened once before in 1996, Liberal Democrat Leader Ed Davey MP said:
For the first time since 1996 the Liberal Democrats won more seats than the Conservatives in the Local Elections.
Liberal Democrat Leader Ed Davey has pledged to “make this Conservative government history” after the Conservatives lost over 200 seats at the local elections.
Responding to the overnight results in the local elections, Liberal Democrat Deputy Leader Daisy Cooper MP said:
Voters in Stratford-on-Avon deserve better than a self-serving absentee MP for what could be the next seven or eight months, says Manuela Perteghella, who intends to be the constituency’s first Liberal Democrat MP.
