Helen is delighted to announce that Mark Hunter was returned as our MP in Cheadle after yesterday's General Election. Despite a very negative campaign from the Tories in Cheadle, Mark was comfortably returned with a very similar majority to the last result.
In the Local Election result in Bramhall North there was an amazing result, with a tie between Pauline Banham and the Conservative candidate, both securing over 3,600 votes. After a number of recounts the Returning Officer advised that lots would have to be drawn to see who had won! Unfortunately, the Conservative paper was drawn out which means that Pauline will not be a Councillor this time. However, after such hard work over recent months, Pauline has vowed to carry on her work for the Liberal Democrats in Bramhall.

"How can you possibly take on such a large financial commitment as Trident without considering the military and political implications? If fierce cuts are to be made in Britain's conventional forces, surely we have to consider whether replacing Trident can be justified. "
Sir Menzies Campbell
Response to announcement that the Ministry of Defence will be responsible for the cost of replacing Trident - 30 July
"With most of their leadership contenders claiming to back AV for a fairer voting system, it is astonishing they now wish to block the legislation to make that happen. Each and every Labour MP campaigned on a manifesto committing to a referendum. Now they have the opportunity to make this happen but have chosen to say no for opposition's sake. "
Simon Hughes MP
Comment on Labour's decision to oppose legislation for a referendum on the alternative vote - 28 July
"With more than half of ASBOs breached in 2008, this was a policy more about posturing than effective policing. Local communities know that other measures, such as Acceptable Behaviour Contracts can nip problems in the bud before they escalate. "
