The Conservatives have received the top Votes ahead of both Labour, UKIP and the Liberal Democrats in the European Elections in Derby & the East Midlands.
The Conservatives secured two East Midlands MEP's, Roger Helmer and Emma McClarkin from the five seats available as part of the proportional voting system used in the European Elections.
In Derby City, the Conservatives jumped from third place into first increasing their vote share. In contrast Labour, the Lib Dems and UKIP saw their vote share fall significantly.
The Euro results are the closest indicator of how votes will be cast in Derby during the forthcoming general election, to be held within the next twelve months.
It confirms that Stephen Mold is in Poll position to become the New MP for Derby North at the General election when it comes.
The Liberal Democrats in Derby will be disappointed to have failed to capitalise on Labour's huge fall in support, seeing their vote also drop to just 15% - only just beating UKIP into third place.
The result is a huge blow to the Liberal Democrats' chances in Derby North, which includes Mickleover and Littleover wards. They had previously been optimistic that the area was a target for them in the General Election.
