UK PM Johnson’s Conservative Party loses control of a previously safe parliamentary seat in a shock election result interpreted as a voter backlash against a leader beset by crises and scandal.
The centrist Liberal Democrats won the North Shropshire seat by nearly 6,000 votes, overturning a 23,000 vote Conservative majority from 2019 with a huge swing.
Nationwide opinion polls show his ruling Conservatives falling behind their main rivals, the Labour Party. The vote for the North Shropshire area, one of 650 seats in Britain’s parliament, was called outside of the regular election cycle because the incumbent Conservative resigned after he was found to have broken rules on paid lobbying.
