My selection as the Lib Dem PPC for Bromsgrove was confirmed last night at a hustings in Blackwell. After sorting out a few things for the media and a relatively early night I was awoken by my mother who wondered why I hadn’t informed her of the result? she was still working as I went to bed being my chief reason!
Anyway, I’m looking forward to contesting the next General Election in Bromsgrove and giving the voters a real choice there. At last when canvassing I can say I’m the candidate and really push forward the Lib Dem ideas for the area, whereas we’ve mainly been information gathering at present. Many months of hard work ahead (although there is a lot of debate about whether it’ll be 25 March rather than 6 May now) and I’m slowly but surely pulling together my team of willing volunteers.
Congratulations,Phil. Your unanimous confirmation as our Bromsgrove Lib Dem candidate has reinvigorated the local party and we are ready to work hard to make your presence and Lib dem policies felt in our area. I hope the contest next year will be about policies -ours are the wisest, most caring and least bigotted of all the parties – and it is time that our voice was heard in Bromsgrove. GOOD LUCK.
