Thank you
Wow! What a result. 10,477 votes cast for the Liberal Democrats, 22.8% of the overall vote -- a 9.3% increase in Brentford & Isleworth Constituency since the 2001 General Election, which is well above regional trends. Ann Keen lost 12% and with 18,329 votes has a significantly reduced majority. This makes it our best result since 1910! I'm sorry it has taken me a while to post a message on BrentfordTW8, but I have had a lot of sleep and correspondence to catch up on. Thank you to all of you that have supported the campaign in the past sixth months. This is the result of hard work by a brilliant team and a great achievement. We had the Labour party running very scared. In the final 48 hours they were putting out spoof Liberal Democrat literature with Baroness Helena Kennedy QC endorsing Ann Keen and telling everyone to vote strategically for the Labour party so as not to let in the Tories.With the margins so much narrower, in the next election if you Vote Liberal Democrat you can be confident of getting a Liberal Democrat representative. In Hounslow after 36+ years of Labour it is time for change. Thank you to all of you that gave us your support this time. In the coming years we will work hard to make the case for our fresh policy ideas and a fair approach for local and national government to many more people. If you would like to help support our development and get active in the party please do not hesitate to contact me directly on 07788 116159 or by email.Best wishes,Andrew DakersLiberal Democrat Parliamentary Spokesperson for Brentford & Isleworth
