Willie Rennie MP with Nicol Stephen MSP, Scottish Liberal Democrat Leader
Dundee Liberal Democrats have sent their congratulations to Willie Rennie for his sensational victory in the Dunfermline and West Fife by-election.
There was a massive swing from the Labour Party to the Liberal Democrats, just nine months after the General Election. The Liberal Democrats turned a Labour majority of 11,562 into a Lib Dem majority of 1,800.
This victory was the first ever Liberal Democrat gain from the Labour Party in a Scottish by-election.
Dundee LibDem Council Group Leader Cllr Fraser Macpherson said, "We are delighted at Willie's victory and proud of the Dundee contribution to his campaign. The Liberal Democrat victory sends a clear message to Blair's Government about Scotland's unease about the "new Labour project" - but it also sends a message to other parties - the SNP are going down the drain and the Tories are nowhere."
