Our Best General Election Result Ever

With two seats yet to declare the Liberal Democrats have had our best ever General Election result. We have over 70 MPs - beating our previous best result of 62 MPs in 2005.

Here in the North West we gained three seats on the new boundaries - this means now we have as many seats in the North West as the Conservatives.

Cheadle

Tom Morrison MP 23,681 (46.7%, up 4.9%)
Majority 12,235 - gain from Conservative

Hazel Grove

Lisa Smart MP 17,238 (37.7%, up 0.5%)
Majority 6,500 - gain from Conservative

Westmorland & Lonsdale

Tim Farron MP 31,061 (62.7%, up 22.0%)
Majority 21,472 - gain from Conservative

(while we won the 2019 Westmorland & Lonsdale seat, significantly changed boundaries made this a notional Conservative seat)
