Centrist alliance wins historic UK by election
Britain's new SDP liberal alliance captured a parliamentary seat in London’s Crewe district, ousting the Conservatives who had held it 26 years. Labour fell to third as the alliance hailed a stunning national challenge, with Liberal leader David Steel and SDP co leader Shirley Williams framing the win as a challenge to the two party system. William Pitt led the alliance in Crewe with 13,800 votes and a 3,254 vote margin, boosting the fledgling bloc’s profile.
