By-Election in the U.K.

 

Welsh By-Election for Senedd (the devolved Welsh parliament)—35% swing against LABOUR Party , <https://news.sky.com/story/plaid-cymru-win-caerphilly-by-election-in-humiliation-for-labour-13455893>. 

The seat was taken by the Welsh regional party (nominally seeking independence from the UK) … with 15,961 votes (47%). This is a first-past-the-post or plurality victory. Nigel Farage’s Reform UK came in second … with 12,113 votes (36%). And Labour came in third … with 3,713 votes (11%). Conservatives crash to less than 1,000 votes (2%). Both Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats lost their deposit.
