Gordon Brown backed down from holding an Autumn election
Liberal Democrats in Kettering constituency have announced that they will carry on with their local campaigning despite the decision of the Prime Minister to back down from holding an election this Autumn.
Local Lib Dem campaigner Chris Nelson, at a meeting of local members in Kettering said, "The Liberal Democrats are not just around when there is an election coming up: we campaign all year round.
"Gordon Brown ramped up expectation of an Autumn election and only backed off when he realised his majority in Parliament would disappear. He has demonstrated by his actions that he is only willing to listen to the people when it suits the Labour Party."
"The Liberal Democrats here in Kettering, however, will not disappear. We will keep on campaigning. While the other parties close down for the winter following Mr. Brown's announcement, the Liberal Democrats are already hard at work writing our next community newsletters to keep residents in touch with what is happening in our area."
