THE TORIES’ Welsh election campaign has been dealt a humiliating setback after the party polled just seven votes in council election.

Tory candidate Nigel Godfrey polled just 0.8 per cent of the 833 votes cast at the by-election in Caerphilly’s Moriah ward on Thursday.

The total is three fewer than the number of eligible voters Mr Godfrey required to nominate him to stand in the election.
