'Chesham & Amersham win, could happen in Medway' say local Lib Dems

AMERSHAM/CHESHAM BLUE WALL

John Castle, Liberal Democrat Spokesperson for Medway has hailed a stunning victory in Chesham & Amersham by-election and insisted "if it can happen there it can happen here in Medway too".

The Lib Dems secured a huge swing of 25 points to snatch the previously safe Conservative seat overnight.

John Castle added: "I'm delighted for Sarah Green, she will make a fantastic MP and will be a strong and independent voice for her residents.

"Like so many voters in Tory Blue Wall seats who are feeling let down by the Conservative government and their MP, local people decided enough was enough and voted in their tens of thousands for change.

"The reality is that this could be the story of so many seats in the South East, including those in Medway.

"Day after day I hear from local people across the Medway Towns that they feel let down, taken for granted and appalled by the direction the Conservative government is taking this country.

"Sarah's win shows us that it doesn't have to remain that way." forever. By local people of all political persuasions making the positive choice and voting Liberal Democrat they finally got a Lib Dem MP who will work hard for them, fight to safeguard our previous natural environment and build a fairer, greener, more caring country."

"The same change is possible here too in the next General Election. That is what the Medway Lib Dem team is fighting for alongside local people."
