Lib Dems oust Goldsmith in by-election

Liberal Democrat Sarah Olney has won the Richmond Park by-election, beating incumbent Zac Goldsmith, who was standing as an independent.

Ms Olney polled 20,510 votes, to Mr Goldsmith's 18,638 and will be the only female Lib Dem MP in Parliament.

Mr Goldsmith, who had previously been a Conservative, stood down as MP when the government decided to back a third runway at Heathrow airport.

He had a majority of 23,015 at the general election in 2015.
Swing Tory to Lib Dem 21.7%

Well I'm glad that cuckservative is gone. The Libdems should be the opposition now that the Labour party has a pensioner version of Rick from the 'Young Ones' as a leader.
We should be MOST skeptical of ideas we like because we are sufficiently skeptical of ideas that we don't like. Penn Jillette.

There was, Zac Goldsmith. Given that the Tories refused to stand a candidate against him, and put the weight of their local association behind him, nobody was buying the charade that he was standing as an independent.

Fun fact: Labour have more members in Richmond Park than they got votes.

Zac seemed like a decent and honest bloke - until he opened his mouth.
