Chris Davies and Sajjad Karim - Liberal Democrat European MP's
The Liberal Democrats made substantial progress in the European Elections in the North West on June 10th. Chris Davies was re-elected as a MEP and he was joined by Sajjad Karim as the Liberal Democrats gained an extra seat.
Sajjad Karim was born in Blackburn. The votes cast in the European Elections in Blackburn & Darwen showed that the Liberal Democrats pushed the Conservatives into third place. There was evidence that there was confusion among some voters and they voted "Liberal" when they meant to vote Liberal Democrat. If those votes are added together we would overtake Labour.
The votes for Blackburn with Darwen were:
Labour .........................12,030
Liberal Democrats..........10,577
Conservatives.................10,190
UKIP.............................. 4,776
BNP............................... 4,491
Liberal............................ 2,097
Turnout........................... 50%
