Dr Brian Mathew

Three steps Brian will take to win in North Somerset

1. Team build, motivate and plan for our victory here
2. Boost membership, especially with young people
3. Work with the Focus and Yeo Views groups to get our message out, hold the Tories to account, and encourage Labour & Green voters to join us in defeating the Tories in North Somerset at the next general election
   

Why we have to WIN HERE...

• North Somerset needs a Liberal Democrat voice, it has in the past and will again soon if we work with purpose!
• The Country needs Liberal Democrat Policies 

“We have the best policies from tax to the environment, student fees to personal care, post offices, libraries and affordable housing. Now lets win these policies in!”
