A message from Nigel:

“People commonly ask me why I want to be an MP. Some people ask if it’s the money or (jokingly I think) the chance of a Plasma TV on expenses. I can say categorically it’s not the money that motivates me. What motivates me, as I hope is the case for all politicians, is the chance to try and make life better for everyone, to try and help people.

For me this means enabling and allowing people to achieve everything that their talents and desires can. It means providing a health service that is there when we need it most; an education system that gives our children the opportunities they deserve; a police force that keeps us safe.

The Labour government has got our country’s finances into a huge mess. They’ve forgotten that you have to pay for what you spend – and wasted 10s of Billions.

We need a Conservative government to take the difficult decisions, focus spending on the priority services – not on unnecessary schemes and bureaucracy – and get our finances back in shape.”
