A by-election was held in the Welsh parliamentary constituency of Islwyn on 16 February 1995 following the resignation of Neil Kinnock who was appointed as a European Commissioner.[1][2] Whilst being a safe Labour seat and a comfortable victory, the Conservative party suffered a serious drop in support which saw them lose their deposit - by gaining less than 5% of the vote.[1] Results{{Election box begin ||title=Islwyn by-election, 1995 }}{{Election box winning candidate with party link| |party = Labour Party (UK) |candidate = Don Touhig |votes = 16,030 |percentage = 69.2 |change = −5.1 }}{{Election box candidate with party link| |party = Plaid Cymru |candidate = Jocelyn Davies |votes = 2,933 |percentage = 12.7 |change = +8.8 }}{{Election box candidate with party link| |party = Liberal Democrats (UK) |candidate = John Bushell |votes = 2,448 |percentage = 10.6 |change = +4.9 }}{{Election box candidate with party link |party = Conservative Party (UK) |candidate = Robert Buckland |votes = 913 |percentage = 3.9 |change = −10.9 }}{{Election box candidate with party link| |party = Official Monster Raving Loony Party |candidate = Screaming Lord Sutch |votes = 506 |percentage = 2.2 |change = +0.9 }}{{Election box candidate with party link| |party = United Kingdom Independence Party |candidate = Hugh Hughes |votes = 289 |percentage = 1.2 |change = N/A }}{{Election box candidate with party link| |party = Natural Law Party |candidate = Trevor Rees |votes = 47 |percentage = 0.2 |change = N/A }}{{Election box majority| |votes = 13,097 |percentage = 56.5 |change = -3.0 }}{{Election box turnout| |votes = 23,166 |percentage = 45.1 |change = −36.3 }}{{Election box registered electors| |reg. electors = 50,971 }}{{Election box hold with party link| |winner = Labour Party (UK) |swing = -2.90 }}{{Election box end}} See also
