Serena Tierney still raised the percentage of Liberal Democrat support leaving us well prepared for the district council elections next year.<br /> <br />Yes nationally and locally the result was disappointing compared with the initial response to the leaders debates which raised expectations of a breakthrough, in the event a late swing polarised support to the party best placed to get rid of Brown. However Liberals Democrats nationally still obtained nearly one in ever four votes and only the unfairness of Britain’s electoral system stopped us significantly increasing our parliamentary representation. <br /><br />However rather than sit back and complain in permanent opposition Nick Clegg is doing exactly what he promised, working for the good of the country, and implementing Liberal Democrat policies. He has worked hard to save the country from an unfettered Conservative government and to put the principles of fairness and constitutional reform at the heart of the new coalition government’s policies and to provide the strong and stable government we need in these difficult times.Simon Hickshttp://simonhicks.mycouncillor.org.uk/noreply@blogger.com
