The General Election Results

5th May 2005

 

Congratulations to our Annette Brooke who has been reelected as our MP

Our seat, Dorset Mid & Poole North, was held by the Liberal Democrats with a very slim majority of 384. It was no. 8 on the Conservative Seat Targets list so this was a very important battleground for both parties. The Liberal Democrats increased their majority to an impressive 5,482 (a 5.6% swing from CON to LD) For a BBC analysis of this result click here.
