  1. Tudor was elected as a Liberal Democrat but quit the party in 2020 due to a "lack of support" after she was censured by the Council for refusing to apologise for making comments calling protesters the "sinister underbelly of Cornish nationalism", breaking the Council's code of conduct.[6] She later formed and became the leader of the Independent Alliance, a standalone independent group.[7]
