In the 2025 election Paul White received 806 votes, giving him a majority of 372 votes (23.05 % of the total), which is 34 votes larger than his 2024 majority and widens the margin by about 1.8 percentage points. The seat would need an estimated 11.5 % swing away from him to be lost, and his vulnerability score is 52 / 100, categorising the race as competitive. Although his vote total rose from 718 in 2024, the low turnout (34.35 %) and a Cornwall‑wide decline for independents of 3.8 percentage points indicate a moderate level of electoral risk.
