A fantastic 2007; all the best for a great 2008!

2007 was the year of elections - that the Lib Dems in this area kept winning! In 2008 Chelmsford Lib Dems will build a stronger local party - in order to hold all five County Council seats in 2009 and elect a Lib Dem MP. Said Parliamentary Candidate Stephen Robinson, "We will campaign for REAL action to protect the health service and to cut crime. But we also need to shake up the political system that has failed people for far too long. Labour and the Conservatives will argue over which of them should control everything. Only the Lib Dems will argue that people should have more control over their own lives."
