Jonathan Chatfield is ready to represent South East Cambs in Parliament
|
Jonathan Chatfield would like to express his thanks to the nearly 22,000 people who voted Liberal Democrat here in SE Cambs. This fantastic result has seen us increase our vote by nearly 4,000 and go up another 6% (from 32% to 38%). We said we were the clear challengers to the Conservatives in this constituency and this is even clearer today.

This election was all about fairness and change and we will now be working hard to implement these through the Coalition. The British people collectively chose not to give any single party an overall majority. Nick Clegg and David Cameron (and their two respective parties) have addressed this circumstance with realism, energy and humility. We remain an independent political party and will continue to hold the Conservative controlled County Council and our two District Councils (East Cambs and South Cambs) to account.
I am delighted how many new people joined the 2010 campaign and got involved in politics for the first time. If you have not done so yet, please do contact us and join us. The next few months and years are going to be very exciting.

"How can you possibly take on such a large financial commitment as Trident without considering the military and political implications? If fierce cuts are to be made in Britain's conventional forces, surely we have to consider whether replacing Trident can be justified. "
Sir Menzies Campbell
Response to announcement that the Ministry of Defence will be responsible for the cost of replacing Trident - 30 July
"With most of their leadership contenders claiming to back AV for a fairer voting system, it is astonishing they now wish to block the legislation to make that happen. Each and every Labour MP campaigned on a manifesto committing to a referendum. Now they have the opportunity to make this happen but have chosen to say no for opposition's sake. "
Simon Hughes MP
Comment on Labour's decision to oppose legislation for a referendum on the alternative vote - 28 July
"With more than half of ASBOs breached in 2008, this was a policy more about posturing than effective policing. Local communities know that other measures, such as Acceptable Behaviour Contracts can nip problems in the bud before they escalate. "
Co-Chair of the Liberal Democrat Parliamentary Committee for Home Affairs and Justice, Tom Brake MP
Commenting on speech by the Home Secretary in which she said it was 'time to move beyond Anti Social Behaviour Orders (ASBOs) - 28 July
