Dr Kate O'Kelly - Liberal Democrat Candidate
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, would be disastrous for the area.
Dr Kate said:
“This 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 two old parties. 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.”

STOP BREXIT - Build a Brighter Future
|
Both the Conservatives and Labour are stuck in the past, failing time and again to build a better future. We have an ambitious plan for the future of our country, where every person, every community and our planet can thrive.
This General Election is about the direction of our country for the next generation. The Liberal Democrats are the strongest party of Remain and we are ready to fight to stop Brexit and ensure that we can build a brighter future for our United Kingdom. |

VOTE TACTICALLY TO STOP THE CONSERVATIVES
Dr Kate is fighting for local people
Protect the NHSUnder the Conservatives plans all of
the elderly dementia and mental health care hospital beds are to CLOSE. Patients will be sent to Worthing or Crawley. In one case Dr Kate has been told of a patient having to be sent to Manchester! This simply isn’t good enough for our area’s aging population. Dr Kate will fight for quality care to be provided here in our area for our local residents. |
The A27 is chokedThe current MPs failing to secure funding
for the A27 is harming local residents. Slow moving traffic has nowhere to go and air quality is at critical levels. Traffic rat running to the north is affecting air quality as far away as Midhurst. Dr Kate will campaign to get the finance reinstated and back the Council’s preferred route. Alongside this she will promote better public transport and cycling routes. |
Cherish our childrenLocal children are being failed by the
Conservatives. Child services are so bad, control of them has had to be passed to a neighbouring County. Despite thousands of houses being planned for the local area the Conservatives are consulting on closing some smaller schools. Even a child can work out that doesn’t add up. Dr Kate’s motion to encourage small schools to remain open by formally grouping together was successfully passed. |

Who We Are |
The Liberal Democrats exist to build and safeguard a fair, free and open society, in which we seek to balance the fundamental values of liberty, equality and community, and in which no-one shall be enslaved by poverty, ignorance or conformity. We champion the freedom, dignity and well-being of individuals, we acknowledge and respect their right to freedom of conscience and their right to develop their talents to the full. We aim to disperse power, to foster diversity and to nurture creativity. We believe that the role of the state is to enable all citizens to attain these ideals, to contribute fully to their communities and to take part in the decisions which affect their lives.

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.
