Honiton/ Gittisham

Local politics is beginning to change … a Progressive Alliance would change it further

The results for the recent Honiton by-election were

Conservative 362
East Devon Alliance 211
Labour 197
UKIP 140

Whilst the Conservative candidate retained the seat, the results show a strong showing by East Devon Alliance and a particularly strong response for the Labour candidate.

Had all non-Tory parties entered into a Progressive Alliance where only one of the three candidates had stood, it is likely the chosen candidate would have won the seat.
