Election History
Mike Thomas was re‑elected with 803 votes, a 303‑vote (17.26 %) majority over the Reform UK candidate, and his vote share rose from 694 to 803 (an increase of 109 votes) while the overall turnout remained low at 5.73 %. The seat would require an 8.63 % swing to change hands, and his vulnerability score of 53 out of 100 places the division in the “competitive” range. Compared with the previous election, his margin widened by 14.7 percentage points, and the Independent vote across Cornwall fell 3.8 pp, suggesting modest but not decisive exposure.
