New mega poll shows Conservatives set to lose Cheadle to Lib Dems at next election
A new mega poll by Electoral Calculus has predicted that Liberal Democrat parliamentary candidate Tom Morrison is on course to win in Cheadle at the next election.
The MRP poll as reported by The Daily Mail, predicts that the Conservatives would lose the seat to the Liberal Democrats if an election were held today.
It follows on from four historic parliamentary by-election wins for the Liberal Democrats over Conservative MPs in recent years, as well as hundreds of gains in local elections across the country since 2019. In Cheadle the Liberal Democrats held on to all their seats at the 2024 local elections, having wiped out the Conservatives locally in 2023.
The poll also shows Labour trailing in third in Cheadle.
The Liberal Democrats are looking to win seats across the so-called ‘Blue Wall” at the next general election, as lifelong Conservative voters desert Rishi Sunak's party in their droves.
Liberal Democrat candidate for Cheadle Tom Morrison said:
“This poll shows that only the Liberal Democrats can beat the Conservatives in Cheadle and Labour cannot win here. It is clear that the countdown to 4th July will be a two-horse race between the Liberal Democrats and the Conservative Party.
“The Liberal Democrats are on the up, having made big gains at the local elections and our four stunning parliamentary by-election wins against the Conservatives since 2019.
“More and more local people are telling me they are backing our campaign because they’re fed up with being taken for granted by this Conservative Government.
“After years of people struggling to get a GP appointment, soaring prices in the shops and our rivers being polluted by filthy sewage, it’s clear it’s time for a change in Cheadle.”
