Paul Cador
Red Flags
Won with a majority of just 9 votes (0.48%), making this one of Cornwall's most marginal seats.
Election History
Councillor Paul Cador was re‑elected with 477 votes, holding the seat by a margin of only 9 votes (0.48 % of the total) over the Liberal Democrat runner‑up in a turnout of 5.24 %. Compared with the 2021 election, the winning margin has contracted by 14.7 percentage points, and only a 0.24 % swing would be required for the next‑most‑popular candidate to overtake him. The vulnerability rating of 79/100 reflects this narrow margin despite Reform UK’s overall 29‑point increase in vote share across Cornwall.
