No! No! No!
Most of us recall Margaret Thatcher's rallying cry of "No! No! No!" against EU integration. And there are at least three reasons why I say "No! No! No!" to the Lib Dems' bid for AV, a back door route to ensure that Nick Clegg and his successors, rather than you, always get to choose the Prime Minister in the future. Under AV, someone who comes 3rd on 1st preference votes could end up wining. That's simply unfair, as, for that matter, is the suggestion that a BNP supporter gets their vote counted more than yours or mine. Secondly, those who already use it – only 3 countries – don't like AV. The majority of Australians want rid of it; Fiji even had a military coup after the last AV election. Contrast that with the 72 countries with a population of 2.4 billion which use the existing British system. Finally, there's the extra cost of AV – £250 million we are told. We simply cannot afford that. AV would result in elections being decided by, in the words of Winston Churchill, the "most worthless votes given for the most worthless candidates". If, like me, you think that is really not on, please vote "No" on 5th May.
Welcome
Welcome, and thanks for visiting my website. On 6th May 2010, I was elected by an overwhelming majority of more than 50% of voters as the Member of Parliament for the Sleaford and North Hykeham Constituency. It's a great honour to have this responsibility of fighting for this beautiful part of Lincolnshire and I hope that my website will answer any questions you have. You'll find some information about me, about what I and my party stand for and about how to get in touch. Please don't hesitate to do so: what matters to you matters to me. I'm passionately committed to serving the interests of all of our community as best as I can.
