Manifesto

Liberal Democrats Election Manifesto 2019

"The Liberal Democrats exist to build and safeguard a fair, free and open society, in which we seek to balance the fundamental values of liberty, equality and community, and in which no one shall be enslaved by poverty, ignorance or conformity. We champion the freedom, dignity and well-being of individuals, we acknowledge and respect their right to freedom of conscience and their right to develop their talents to the full. We aim to disperse power, to foster diversity and to nurture creativity. We believe that the role of the state is to enable all citizens to attain these ideals, to contribute fully to their communities and to take part in the decisions which affect their lives."

December General Elections are not unusual; there were three in the last century. But the closest parallel to today was in 1910 - the second in that year, when we were also in somewhat uncertain and divided times (less so perhaps).

Representing Our Fleets With Passion

***Press Release*** Dear Editor, Over the last three and a half years, and probably longer, the general public had been fed a lot of misinformation about the outcomes, for our country, of the Brexit process. Often these slogans have been written down the sides of red buses. One of the most important Brexit outcomes and the one most close to the heart of our own constituency is the possible implications for our fishery. Our Hastings & Rye fleets have had just cause, over the years, criticising the portion of quota that the small boats receive from the UK government - a decision that has always been the UK government's to make. If I am elected as the new MP for Hastings & Rye I will argue this case in the House with every breath in my body. But I will also tell the truth to my fisherman friends. No Deal and Bad Deal Brexit will hurt, if not kill, your industry. So join me, and the Liberal Democrats, in our fight to Stop Brexit, so we can get on with making our country fairer for those who need
