Britain’s centrist Liberal Democrats party candidate, Helen Morgan, won the North Shropshire seat by nearly 6,000 votes, overturning a 23,000-vote Conservative majority from 2019
The defeat was described as "a kicking" for his Conservative Party, substantiating the fears among some that its reputation and electoral prospects are now suffering under Johnson.
The Conservatives had won every previous election for the mostly rural area of central England since the constituency was created in its current form in 1983. Conservative lawmakers have been dominant in the region for nearly 200 years. Opinion polls show Conservatives falling behind their main rivals, the Labour Party, following an outcry over lawmakers' second jobs, criticism of the way Johnson funded the lavish refurbishment of his flat, and a surge in COVID-19 cases.Liberal Democrat candidate Helen Morgan speaks after winning the North Shropshire parliamentary seat, in Shrewsbury, Britain December 17, 2021.
