Local elections
long silence, I am sorry !
Elections in four weeks, activity building up, I will keep you all informed.
We have a County Council Election alongside the European Election, both conducted under different systems.
In the County Council Elections you have 3 candidates to choose from
- Myself, the County Councillor who has represented Corfe Mullen for the past 5 years and worked very hard, every day, to try to keep Corfe Mullen the place that we all want to live in. We keep you informed all through the year, and you will get even more through the door over the next week or two.
- A candidate who has been campaigning for 2 years as a non political person, who has suddenly accepted Tory funding ?!! He is passionate about preventing building on the Green Belt, are not we all ? But he has an added impetus, it is right in his back yard. He is promising the earth, I simply ask you all to judge for yourselves what is possible. We, the LibDems, promise never to offer you unrealistic outcomes.
- UKIP, I need say no more.
For Europe you vote for a party list. You will get more information through the post. What happens is that the votes are allocated per party, the most successful party elects the first 3 or 4 on their list, the next probably 2 or 3 and so on.
Top of the LibDem list is Graham Watson who has been our LibDem MEP for the last 10 years, a hugely successful and respected MEP Graham is the Leader of the Liberal Democrats in the whole of Europe. He works incredibly hard and somehow manages to visit every part of his Constituency which includes 52 Westminster Parliamentary Constituencies, he represents the whole of the South West right down to Gibraltar on his own. If we can muster just a few more votes them we can also elect Dr Kay Barnard, a very well qualified candidate who will share Graham’s burden.
Pleas don’t elect another UKIP candidate, they never even turn up in Brussels.
have your say
