Jonathan Chatfield is ready to represent South East Cambs in Parliament

Jonathan Chatfield would like to express his thanks to the nearly 22,000 people who voted Liberal Democrat here in SE Cambs. This fantastic result has seen us increase our vote by nearly 4,000 and go up another 6% (from 32% to 38%). We said we were the clear challengers to the Conservatives in this constituency and this is even clearer today.

See the General Election Result in more detail.
See the Local Election Results in more detail.

This election was all about fairness and change and we will now be working hard to implement these through the Coalition. The British people collectively chose not to give any single party an overall majority. Nick Clegg and David Cameron (and their two respective parties) have addressed this circumstance with realism, energy and humility. We remain an independent political party and will continue to hold the Conservative controlled County Council and our two District Councils (East Cambs and South Cambs) to account.

I am delighted how many new people joined the 2010 campaign and got involved in politics for the first time. If you have not done so yet, please do contact us and join us. The next few months and years are going to be very exciting.
