Dom Joly: I’m backing Lib Dem Max Wilkinson in Cheltenham

By | Wed 4th December 2019 - 3:20 pm

Dom Joly, the TV comedian, is throwing his support behind the Lib Dem candidate in Cheltenham, Max Wilkinson:

For so long, due to our ridiculously unfair first-past-the-post electoral system, my vote has meant nothing when cast in a constituency with a massive majority for the sitting MP.

This is why I’m so excited, having just moved to Cheltenham, to feel that my vote really can make a difference in this Lib-Dem/Tory marginal. I am putting all my support behind the Lib-Dem candidate, Max Wilkinson, as I think he will make a superb local MP.

I feel that both major parties have been overtaken by extremist factions and are currently electorally unpalatable to me. We have a great chance of getting rid of the Tories from Cheltenham and I hope we take it.
