2010 General Election - Thursday 6 May

A big thank you to everyone who voted Conservative in the recent General Election. We did not win in Lewisham East but our vote increased substantially to almost 10,000 votes. I wish Heidi Alexander well as the new MP for Lewisham East.

At the national level, of course, it was a different story. The Conservative Party had its best result in terms of seats won since 1931 and is now the lead party in Government.
