20,687 VOTES 20,687 THANK YOU'S!
It is the Monday after the Thursday that the Lib
Dems in
third, and this is to say to every one of you that
voted for me and us, a huge THANK YOU!
We did not win but we showed that winning is possible both in the local election next year and in the next general election, which could come in as little as six months. In terms of votes, we got for the Liberal Democrats the highest number of votes outside a winning constituency in the South West of England. The sixteenth highest Lib Dem constituency vote in the region including the 15 constituencies that elected a Lib Dem MP.
With luck we will have proportional representation next time. Now is the time to work with like minded people and go forward together. I am hoping for a 'Rainbow Coalition of the Centre Left', but it is up to Nick and the rest of the Party to decide what to do and I will support the decision when it is made. Rome was not built in a day, but last Thursday by beating the 20,000 vote barrier we showed that North Somerset can change and will change, if we work together for a better, fairer Britain and convince those that are naturally cautious to come with us!
For those of you that would like to get involved with events and activities that are happening from this week onwards please call our Chairperson Isabel Cummings on 01934 833928
Best wishes and enjoy the photographs.
