In one of the best results for the Liberal Democrats in the whole country, Sandy Walkington narrowly failed to unseat Anne Main as MP for St Albans. Starting in third place in a seat which was Number 24 on the Labour target seat list, Sandy dramatically increased his vote while Labour support slumped. The Conservative performance was the worst in Hertfordshire in a contest which also saw one of the highest voter turn-outs in the country.

"How can you possibly take on such a large financial commitment as Trident without considering the military and political implications? If fierce cuts are to be made in Britain's conventional forces, surely we have to consider whether replacing Trident can be justified. "
Sir Menzies Campbell
Response to announcement that the Ministry of Defence will be responsible for the cost of replacing Trident - 30 July
"With most of their leadership contenders claiming to back AV for a fairer voting system, it is astonishing they now wish to block the legislation to make that happen.
