Glenrothes shock as Labour holds on

0

A brief note that the Labour Party has held onto the Scottish seat of Glenrothes in yesterday’s by-election. The seat was expected to fall to the Scottish National Party when the by-election was triggered, but since the financial crisis Brown has been performing better overall. While Labour suffered a 3% swing, and the SNP gained a 13% swing, it was nowhere near enough to overturn the previous majority, and Labour held on safely.
