With such a small majority, surely it only right to have an immediate by-election to establish who exactly should represent our region.
The correct democratic process was followed and no matter how large or small the majority, the people have given their opinion. There is no reason for another vote, unless I’ve missed it !
I think this constituency has expressed its preference
Sadly, it was evident that many of the younger voters did not vote at all. I’ve asked them why and they feel disenfranchised and that the election was a foregone conclusion in this long-held Tory constituency.
They currently feel that having realised how incredibly close the actual outcome was, they would most certainly use their vote in a by-election to ensure that GS did not retain his seat
