Lib Dems claim clock is ticking for Tories in Stratford
IS time running out for the Conservatives in Stratford? The Liberal Democrats seem to think so.
Following the general election announcement on Wednesday 22nd May, the gloves are off and the Lib Dems wasted no time in calling on constituents to “kick the Conservatives out of power”.
Manuela Perteghella, the Liberal Democrat parliamentary candidate for Stratford, has urged voters to back her for a fresh start in Stratford where the Conservatives have held power for over a hundred years and it comes at a time when the Lib Dems believe they are in contention to topple the Tories on election day - 4th July - with the local Conservative Party in the process of selecting its candidate after Nadhim Zahawi’s recent announcement that he would stand down as Stratford MP after 14 years.
Responding to Prime Minister Rishi Sunak calling an election, Manuela Perteghella said:
“This election is a once-in-a-generation chance to kick the Conservatives out of power and finally deliver the change and fresh start our area so desperately needs. It’s clear that only the Liberal Democrats can beat the Conservatives in Stratford. Every vote will count. As the next MP for Stratford, I will stand up for local health services, tackle the sewage scandal and be a strong voice for our community in parliament. I shall demand more support for our high streets to make them into the vibrant places they once were and make it my business to tackle the dreadful traffic congestion in Stratford.”
Nationally, the campaign trail has begun with party leaders touring the country in the run-up to July.
