Thank you

Election News
Thank you for your huge support over the elections, where you gave me just under 4000 votes, in the top 3% of Independents in the country. Winning as MP turned out to be a tall order, with the media focus on the national party leadership contest. All of the Lincolnshire Independents ran excellent campaigns, genuinely engaging and responding on all kinds of issues, and making the point about the value of good, local representation.

With four Independents standing in Lincolnshire as MP for the fist time in 60 years, we changed the face of political thinking in Lincolnshire, brought some common sense to the issues and laid the groundwork for local Independents in future. Congratulations to everyone who decided to make a stand and support us. We all have something of which we can be justly proud.

The Conservatives took around 50% of the vote, as in previous years. I shall of course, be pleased to work with the new man to do our best for the people of Lincolnshire.
