Candidate for the East Midlands

I have been selected in second place on the East Midlands Lib Dems’ list of candidates for the European Parliament elections.

If you helped or supported me, ‘thank you’.  If you didn’t, well, there’s still time because (in the first of many cliches to come) the hard work starts here.  You can visit www.edmaxfield.org.uk and click on the handy ‘make a donation’ button.  Any donations received will be passed straight to the party’s election fund in the region.  You do not need to set up a Paypal account even though their web site tries to make it look like you do.

As expected, Bill Newton Dunn topped the list with three quarters of the first preference votes - a measure of the respect and affection in which he is held.  Veena Hudson was selected in third place with Denise Hawksworth fourth and Deborah Newton-Cooke in fifth.

I was very pleased to finish a clear second in first preference votes and to receive more of Bill’s transfers than any other candidate.  If you are keen, you can see the full results here. 
I am really looking forward to the next 19 months - the first challenge will be making sure we re-elect Bill.  It wont be easy as the region loses a seat at the next set of elections.

Do let me know if can help in any way.
