Lib Dems & Tories increase share of vote in Henley as Labour crash to 5th place
In the by-election in Henley yesterday the Liberal Democrats increased their share of the vote and held their own against the Conservatives, in spite of the Tories current very high opinion poll ratings.
Labour suffered the most humiliating result losing their deposit and coming fifth.
The result was: -
Tory 19796 56.7% (+3.2%)
Lib Dem 9680 27.7 % (+1.7%)
Green 1321
BNP 1243
Labour 1066
Ukip 843
Others 966
Turnout 34915
The key message for the next General Election from yesterdays result is that in contests with the Tories, the Lib Dems should hold their current seats, whilst in contests with Labour, the Lib Dems are likely to make gains.
