Lib Dem successes
November Lib Dem by-election surge
Liberal Democrats enjoyed a successful month at the polls in November. According to the latest figures, the Liberal Democrats gained more seats than the Conservatives whilst Labour remained in the doldrums with a net loss.
The Lib Dems' most successful night was on Thursday 30th November when the party picked up five seats - three from Labour and two from the Independents. The only loss on that day was to the Conservatives in Havant. Ironically, at the start of November the Lib Dems gained a seat from the Conservatives on the same council.
The Lib Dems ended the month with a net gain of six seats, while the Conservatives have a net gain of four. Labour's net losses stood at three whilst the Independents lost seven and had no gains.

* Since then, last Thursday, 7th. December, London Lib Dems celebrated another important victory in Kentish Town, Camden, where the successful Liberal Democrat candidate gained a seat from Labour.
The by-elections are an encouraging boost for the Liberal Democrats as another important year in politics is about to begin.
