释义 |
The Gower by-election of 16 September 1982 was held after the death of Labour Member of Parliament (MP) Ifor Davies on 6 June 1982. The seat was held by Labour in the by-election.[1] Amongst the candidates was David Burns who at the time was being held on remand over charges relating to the bombing of a British Army recruitment office in Pontypandy. A self-declared member of the 'Worker's Army for a Welsh Republic', Burns was ultimately released in 1983 after neither of the two charges were made to stand up.[2] Results{{Election box begin|title=Gower by-election, 1982}}{{Election box winning candidate with party link||party = Labour Party (UK) |candidate = Gareth Wardell |votes = 17,095 |percentage = 43.48 |change = -9.8 }}{{Election box candidate with party link| |party = Social Democratic Party (UK) |candidate = Gwynoro Jones |votes = 9,875 |percentage = 25.12 |change = +16.1 }}{{Election box candidate with party link| |party = Conservative Party (UK) |candidate = Trefor Llewellyn |votes = 8,690 |percentage = 22.10 |change = -8.4 }}{{Election box candidate with party link| |party = Plaid Cymru |candidate = Ieuan Owen |votes = 3,431 |percentage = 8.73 |change = +1.6 }}{{Election box candidate| |party = Computer Democrat |candidate = John Donovan |votes = 125 |percentage = 0.32 |change = N/A }}{{Election box candidate| |party = Civil Rights/Welsh Political Prisoner |candidate = David Burns |votes = 103 |percentage = 0.26 |change = N/A }}{{Election box majority| |votes = 7,220 |percentage = 18.36 |change = -4.3 }}{{Election box turnout| |votes = 39,319 |percentage = 65.40 |change = -15.40 }}{{Election box registered electors| |reg. electors = 60,123 }}{{Election box hold with party link| |winner = Labour Party (UK) |swing = }}{{Election box end}} References1. ^{{Cite web |url=http://by-elections.co.uk/gower82.html |title=Gower by-election result |access-date=27 July 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120314034242/http://by-elections.co.uk/gower82.html |archive-date=14 March 2012 |dead-url=yes |df=dmy-all }} {{By-elections to the 48th UK Parliament}}2. ^Results of By-Elections in the 1979-83 Parliament 6 : 1982 elections in the United Kingdom|By-elections to the Parliament of the United Kingdom in Welsh constituencies|Elections in Swansea|1982 in Wales|20th century in Swansea|September 1982 events in Europe |
