A '''Shoreham and Dagerleigh by-election''' was held on 11 July 1982. The {{wp|by-election}} was caused by the death of [[Sotirian Democratic Union|David Johnson]] on 7 May 1982, who had been elected on behalf of the [[Sotirian Democratic Union]] as the [[Parliament of Estmere|Member of Parliament]] for [[Parliament of Estmere#Constituencies|Shoreham and Dagerleigh]] less than a year prior.
The seat was traditionally an SDU-[[Radical Liberals (Estmere)|Radical Liberal]] (and later [[Reform Party]]) marginal, but the approval of a new nuclear power plant near the seat (approved by the previous SDU government and upheld by the new Reform government) majorly shifted the balance of power in the seat. The local {{wp|anti-nuclear movement}} became a major factor, and the power plant itself became a major issue in the campaign. The [[Greens (Estmere)|Greens]] were able to flex their anti-nuclear credentials and act as a {{wp|protest vote}} for both liberal and conservative voters in the seat.
The by-election was notable in that it saw the Greens win their first parliamentary constituency, catapulting them from extra-parliamentary opposition. The result was an embarassment for the SDU, and to a lesser extent to the governing Reform Party. The power plant's construction was paused indefinitely, and the seat was ultimately gained by the Reform Party in the [[1984 Estmerish general election|next election]], with the Greens in fourth place.

A Shoreham and Dagerleigh by-election was held on 11 July 1982. The by-election was caused by the death of David Johnson on 7 May 1982, who had been elected on behalf of the Sotirian Democratic Union as the Member of Parliament for Shoreham and Dagerleigh less than a year prior.

The seat was traditionally an SDU-Radical Liberal (and later Reform Party) marginal, but the approval of a new nuclear power plant near the seat (approved by the previous SDU government and upheld by the new Reform government) majorly shifted the balance of power in the seat. The local anti-nuclear movement became a major factor, and the power plant itself became a major issue in the campaign. The Greens were able to flex their anti-nuclear credentials and act as a protest vote for both liberal and conservative voters in the seat.

The by-election was notable in that it saw the Greens win their first parliamentary constituency, catapulting them from extra-parliamentary opposition. The result was an embarassment for the SDU, and to a lesser extent to the governing Reform Party. The power plant's construction was paused indefinitely, and the seat was ultimately gained by the Reform Party in the next election, with the Greens in fourth place.
