Labour won because (a) they picked up more of the votes lost by the LibDems and (b) not enough UKIP voters realised it was a two-way contest and they were more likely to get the policies they wanted by keeping Mary as their MP. Labour Ruth Cadbury 25,096 43.8% +10.2% Conservative Mary Macleod 24,631 42.9% +5.7% UKIP Richard Hendron 3,203 5.6% +4.0% Liberal Democrat Joe Bourke 2,305 4.0% -19.6% Green Party Daniel Goldsmith 2,120 3.7% +2.2 |
