Local Liberal Democrats joyfully took to social media on Sunday evening as the results for the European elections came in. Neck and neck with the Green Party in the Hastings only counting area, the Lib Dems won a clear second place in Rother District - four of whose wards are included in the Hastings & Rye parliamentary seat.
Able Cable As previously announced, Vince Cable is standing down as Liberal Democrat leader, ending his time on an unexpected high. Not only brilliant local election results but also - if the polls are right - with the Liberal Democrats outpolling the Conservatives in a national election for the first time since 1906 (insert joke about how that is before even Vince was born). Perhaps even also outpolling Labour.
You are warmly invited to Hasting and Rye Liberal Democrats' Safari Supper. And we have a reason to celebrate... in the words of Vince Cable "British liberals beat both the Conservatives and the Labour Party for the first time since the days of Lloyd George. We secured second place in a national election, our largest ever group of MEPs, and our best share of the vote in a decade."
The Conservatives aren't listening. They are not listening in Parliament: they're certainly not listening in Rother. Click on the links to read what your candidate is going to do for you. Vote Liberal Democrats on the 2nd May 2019.
