General Election Results - Huntingdon Constituency


Djanogly wins and wins well. In the surrounding areas the Conservatives pushed ahead with a 5% increase in their share of votes. Djanogly was a 1.9% decrease. Roughly 7% down. Most of this vote went to UKIP. I feel Anthea didn't do that badly as other seats. 

The main problem was Martin Land. He had many jobs to do plus being the parliamentary candidate for Huntingdon. Good looking literature but he aimed this at an anti-Conservative alliance. To win in Huntingdon the Liberal Democrats need to get Conservative supporters on his side and this he failed. Even if Land had got an anti-Djanogly coalition together, without Conservative supporters he would have still lost.

As Djanogly has won then his problems over his expenses should now be put behind us. The electorate have spoken and he has won.
