28 April (Part 2) - Lib Dems contest ten wards

Sean AshSomething unusual happened overnight, a political party sent me a copy of their local election leaflet. Even more unusual is that it’s a Lib Dem leaflet. One from their candidate in East Wickham, Sean Ash.

I met Sean once, good bloke, and my political chameleon friend Danny says the same so it must be true.

Sean makes some good points on his website.


For the past 10 years, despite the “efficiency savings” and cuts to local services, along with the millions of pounds saved in spending, the gap to the budget is becoming a deeper hole needing to be filled with lots of cash that we don’t have.

Labour and the Tories are failing to be progressive with their politics due to their history of tribalism. There is clear division and a lack of cooperation to resolve our issues. There are times when Labour propose a really decent policy yet it is always voted against simply because they are wearing a different colour.

Sadly, very little is achieved in politics because it is tribal, a game to some and very self-centred to others. They have lost track with what truly matters. The people.

There is only one way to change the way things are and that is to give someone else a chance by changing the way you vote. On Thursday 5th May, there is a real opportunity to break a 20 year cycle of tribalism here in Bexley. The power for change is in your hands. Voting Lib Dems will mean that you will have people on the council who are in your corner.


Sean asks that you spend five minutes reviewing what the Lib Dems have to offer. They are standing in Bexleyheath, Blackfen & Lamorbey, Blendon & Penhill, Crook Log, East Wickam, Longlands, Northumberland Heath, Sidcup, St. Mary’s & St. James and Thamesmead East.
