The result in Illogan

The by-election in Illogan Division has been won by the Liberal Democrats, with MK’s Stephen Richardson coming second out of the seven candidates.

The full result was:

Liberal Democrat  -  277
Stephen Richardson (MK)  -  217
Conservative  -  215
UKIP  -  156
Labour  -  129
Liberal  -  121
Green  -  50

Almost all of the parties put a great deal of work into the election and I would like to congratulate Stephen for running such a very strong campaign. Stephen should be extremely proud of the hard work he put into the fight and, in such a fevered political atmosphere, he did well to out-poll the Conservatives, UKIP, Labour, the Liberals and Greens.

Well done on a campaign well fought.
