LABOUR SEND OUT A CLEAR SIGNAL IN WEST WORCESTERSHIRE
Labour have sent out a clear signal by failing to field a single candidate in
any council seat in the West Worcestershire Constituency, said Liberal Democrat
Parliamentary Candidate, Richard Burt.
“With no candidates in Wychavon or Malvern Hills District Council wards that
fall within West Worcestershire, it is clear that Labour are leaving the door
wide open for a straight fight between the Liberal Democrats and Conservatives
at the next General Election,” said Mr Burt.
“By failing to field candidates, the Labour Party have sent out a clear message
to their 5000 voters from the last General Election to vote tactically in West
Worcestershire. Tactical voting in similar seats has significantly benefited the
Liberal Democrats, who opposed the war in Iraq and have campaigned hard on the
environment, civil liberties and social justice.”
