Lib Dem Success in Parliamentary By-elections
The Liberal Democrats have won an astounding success in the Leicester South by-election, overturning a Labour majority of 13,243 to win by a margin of 1,654 votes. Parmjit Singh Gill is now the 55th Lib Dem Member of Parliament, following Sarah Teather's success in the Brent East by-election in September 2003, where she demolished a similar Labour majority to win the seat, after a successful Lib Dem campaign in the London constituency.
