Madeleine Kirk - Campaigning for York and its Villages

The next general election in the new York Outer constituency will be a close fight between local Liberal Democrat Madeleine Kirk and the Conservatives. Independent experts say Labour are in third place and cannot win here. The Liberal Democrats are now the only party that can deliver social justice. The only choice for anyone who wants a fairer Britain. A party that will put money back in the pockets of ordinary families. A party that will build a stable, green economy for each and every one of us. A party that will change politics so that every person counts.

If you want to get involved with our campaign to elect Madeleine Kirk as the first MP for York Outer at the next general election, or if you want to raise any issues of concern in your area, then please email Madeleine at madeleine@madeleinekirk.org.uk.

Quotes of the Week

"Anyone who wants to pass laws in this country should pay this country's full taxes and not hide behind the special offshore status of non-doms. Non-doms have to tell the taxman that their first allegiance is to another country. No-one should be a British lawmaker whose first allegiance is not to Britain."

Chris Huhne, Liberal Democrat Shadow Home Secretary
