Virendra Sharma is the new Ealing Southall MP.
He has pledged to work very hard for his constituents. It was a reasonable night for the Liberal democrats but a disasterous night for the Tories, who came a poor 3rd despite a desperate campaign involving 5 personal visits from David Cameron, a high profile candidate and some very dodgy campaigning tactics.
It is a great credit to the local people that they saw through the Tory's gimmicky candidate with no history or substance and rejected him! It is only proper that a local politician who has stood by his political convictions for a great many years should prevail over one that was drafted into the Tory party only days before the by-election!
