"Thank you to all electors in South Thanet who voted Liberal Democrat in the General Election on 5th May", said candidate Guy Voizey.
"With your support, we achieved a 47% increase in actual votes cast and saw our proportion of the vote increase by 3.8%. At the same time, both Labour and the Conservatives saw their vote fall."
"This will send a powerful message to the Labour government, who now know they need to address the issues that matter to people, such as Council Tax and care for the elderly."

Labour 16660
Conservative 15996
Guy Voizey (Liberal Democrat) 5431 (+ 3.8%)
