The Liberal Democrats have won the Brecon and Radnorshire by-election, taking the seat from Brecon . The seat was the first test of the Green Party , in which the Green Party and Plaid Cymru did not stand, meaning there was only one pro-EU ticket on the ballot paper. This is because the government's numbers don't include Charlie Elphicke, a Conservative who's had the whip removed while he fights sexual assault allegations, and a handful of opposition MPs who tend to vote with the government on Brexit. This could provide a formula for alliances in future elections. A "Unite to Remain" initiative is currently analysing seats to see which party pro-Remain parties should back in given constituencies. Anti-EU parties have not yet formed such a pact, with Brecon and the Democrats both standing in Plaid Cymru .
