8% swing to Lib Dems in Princes Ward - John Roberts says "Thank You!"

Lib Dem Candidate John Roberts has said "Thank You" to everyone who supported him in yesterday's election
Liberal Democrat Candidate for the Princes Ward by-election, John Roberts, has said "Thank You" to everyone who voted for him yesterday.
The result saw an 8% swing from Labour to Liberal Democrat - which would be more than enough for Labour to lose control of Lambeth in next year's council elections (May 2010).
And, just like the Lib Dems said, Conservatives finished in a clear third place. This was despite local Conservatives spending lots of money on glossy full colour leafets saying they were the challengers to Labour.
The result was:
Labour 1726 - 40.6%
John Roberts (LibDem) 1396 - 32.9%
Tory 707 - 16.7%
Green 320 - 7.5%
English Democrats 93 -2.2%
