A by-election in Black is looming, but what impact will outgoing Liberal leader David Speirs have on the political race?A by-election in Black is looming, but what impact will outgoing Liberal leader David Speirs have on the political race?Supercars will be ripping through the streets of Adelaide , but former Liberal leader David Speirs has influenced another race in Adelaide 's south.
Sources inside both major parties acknowledge he has been an effective — and popular — local member, which may bolster the opposition's chances of holding on. Labor and Ms Wilson have their own history, with the party having previously sounded her out to run as a candidate.The Holdfast Bay mayor does have a profile, having headed up the council which overlaps parts of Black since 2018.
Coming into the respective by-elections, the Liberal Party held both seats, which are both considered marginal.And the outcome of each by-election has no impact on who the government is.A loss would effectively lock the party out of Adelaide's southern suburbs and would see them not have a state MP in the metropolitan area any further south than Oaklands Road in Morphettville.
