Liberal Democrats Select Parliamentary Spokesperson
We are pleased to announce that Dr Kate O'Kelly has been selected as our Parliamentary Spokesperson.
Dr Kate is a former GP and is a Liberal Democrat councillor on both the County and District Councils. She’s successfully reduced the cuts to local bus services, and is now fighting to prevent the closure of three local schools. She has also been campaigning to Stop Brexit as the impact, especially of a No Deal, would be disastrous for the area.
Dr Kate said:
“The next election will be a close battle between myself and the current MP. I’ve already won the current MP’s old District Council seat and now I hold it with 75% of the vote. This demonstrates how popular she was. As an MP she has sat on the fence on every issue from Brexit to the A27. The people of this area need a Liberal Democrat MP with the courage of their convictions. They want someone who will go into battle for them.
The recent local and European elections showed people no longer trust the Conservatives. They have put their faith in the Liberal Democrats to make a difference. It's time for electors to have a real alternative to the current chaos, complacency and confusion.”

Our History |
Chichester has a long history of liberalism, with the preceding Liberal Party having strong local foundations for hundreds of years prior to the SDP-Liberal merger in 1988.
