Lib Dem Councillor defects to the Conservatives

  • Tweet
Thursday, 29 March, 2007

At last night's Town Council meeting in Abingdon, Cllr Paul Campbell, who represents the Caldecott ward, took his seat alongside Conservative councillors. In his statement to the press Cllr Campbell described the Lib Dems as extremely complacent.Conservative group leader Mike Badcock said: "Paul has been so disenchanted with the Lib Dems that it's no surprise he's joined us."He cares about Abingdon and doesn't like what has happened under the Lib Dems. I look forward to working with him in the future."Paul Campbell's statement in full...I have changed my Political Allegiances from the Liberal Democrat Party to the Conservative Party.The reason for this is to benefit the local electorate, as some of the Liberal Democrats seem to have lost touch with all of them! I believe they have become extremely complacent after being in power for so long.Whilst the minority among them are working hard for the electorate trying their utmost to improve our town, the others seem to think it’s their right not an honour to be elected, using it not as a duty to the electorate and town but as a means to do what they like, not to do what the electorate wants but to do what the elected want.The Conservative Party, even though in minority, have always fought for the person in the street no matter who they voted for.I believe it is time for a change and I sincerely hope it comes on May 3rd. For our towns sake I hope you join us in fighting this complacency.
