Why I'm standing...

Written by David Hallas, PPC, Tunbridge Wells Lib Dems on Wed 18th Nov 2009

I, like many people, have become increasingly disillusioned with the political classes that occupy the seats of power in Westminster. The Conservative front bench is packed full of professional politicians who have never experienced any of the real life problems faced by ordinary people. Many Tory MPs have been exposed in the media for their blatant disregard of the ordinary person as shown abundantly by the expenses scandal and their recently published views on NHS privatisation. I am an ordinary local primary school teacher who wants to win this election because I want to put right the greed and selfishness that has entered our parliament. I want to do what all MPs should be doing and that is representing the ordinary people with the honesty and respect we deserve.

Quotes of the Week

"Anyone who wants to pass laws in this country should pay this country's full taxes and not hide behind the special offshore status of non-doms. Non-doms have to tell the taxman that their first allegiance is to another country. No-one should be a British lawmaker whose first allegiance is not to Britain."

Chris Huhne, Liberal Democrat Shadow Home Secretary

"I think people are entitled to expect a sensible, stable government at a time when the country is facing very, very acute choices. We take what the markets are worrying about immensely seriously. We will not take any risk with the creditworthiness of the economy."

Nick Clegg, Leader of the Liberal Democrats

Financial Times - 3 March
