Havant Lib Dems pick General Election candidate
Thursday 28 January 2010
Alex Payton who is a former Berkshire councillor and mayor has been chosen as the Lib Dem candidate for the general election.
The 35 year old barrister told party members that it is time to change the face of Havant politics which are currently dominated by the Conservatives.
As a former councillor he has campaigned against Post Office closures, health service cuts and council tax increase. He said "People's trust in MPs has been betrayed by scandals and poor performance. Our first job is to restore to politics decency, honesty and fairness."
