Tories Win North West By Election

South Ribble Tories are cock-a-hoop tonight after winning a Council by election in a seat they hadn't contested for 12 years. Result Con 386 Lab 123 Lib 152. South Ribble has already reselected Lorraine Fulbrook to fight the seat again. Looks like a good decision.

  1. Iain, when you say we havnm't contested it do you mean we havn't put up a candidate in 12 years? or that we've just put up paper candidates and not fought it at all in 12 years?

  2. This was a Town Council election and the Conservatives did fight and in fact win the same ward on South Ribble DC in 2003 so this win is no surprise

  3. Imcredible. Now the Leader of the Conservative Party has made a conference speech in which he boasts about winning a town council seat in South Ribble.
