Elected MP 5 May 2005
MP Predecessor Jon Owen Jones
Date of Birth 29 May 1974
Political Party Liberal Democrat

Jennifer Nancy Willott (born 29 May 1974) is a British politician and the Liberal Democrat Member of Parliament for Cardiff Central since the 2005 general election.

Willott has a history of work with charitable organisations such as OXFAM and a women's organisation in North India. She supports the movement of trade justice and has interests in human rights and social justice. She was a councillor in the London Borough of Merton from 1998 to 2000.

2005 Election

The gain of the Cardiff Central constituency by the Liberal Democrats in the 2005 General Election appears to have been an example of voters becoming disillusioned with Labour policies and the war in Iraq, although outgoing Labour Co-operative MP Jon Owen Jones was opposed to the war himself.

Willott's campaign specifically targeted the student population of nearly 10,000 that live and study around the Cathays/Roath area (the centre of the constituency). The Liberal Democrats' policy of abolishing tution fees seems to have been a major factor for determining student votes.

Most considered the result of the election in Cardiff Central as a forgone-victory in that the result was widely expected by all sides.
