UK Liberal Democrat leader Jo Swinson loses seat
The leader of Britain’s Liberal Democrats, Jo Swinson, has lost her seat in Parliament, while her party is struggling to make election gains.
Swinson was narrowly defeated in her Dunbartonshire East constituency by the Scottish National Party.
The pro-EU Liberal Democrats had high hopes of gaining new seats in Britain’s election because of its strongly pro-EU stance. But so far it looks likely to only win a dozen or so of the 650 House of Commons seats — fewer than it held before the election.
