Congratulations to Sarah Dyke on what was a resounding victory last night. In the end, the Liberal Democrats didn’t need the relentless attacks on the Green vote. Sarah deserved better.
We fought a positive campaign that delivered the best ever Green by-election result in our Party’s history! Huge thanks to the campaign team, fellow Candidates and, most importantly, Somerton & Frome voters!
Our vote held up because people are no longer just voting “not Tory”. They are choosing a party they know will take action on the climate and ecological emergencies we are all facing.
Next year presents a new chance in our long awaited Frome and East Somerset constituency. Last night our dedicated voters proved we can win this.
