Welcome, Andrew Marshall.
I’ve joined the Liberal Democrats. An open, tolerant country. Social market economics. Broadening opportunity. Britain in Europe. Constitutional reform. Internationalist, concerned for our planet. @LibDems @CamdenLibDems
— Andrew Marshall (@AndrewIMarshall) January 1, 2018
Andrew, who is still a Councillor in Camden but who resigned from the Tories last year, explained his reasons to the Ham and High
I left the Conservative Party after four decades last year – largely, but certainly not only, over Europe. I find that my values are now best reflected in the Liberal Democrats: moderate, inclusive economics to broaden opportunity, reform of our political system, a robust approach to sustainability and an internationalist, pro-European ethos.
Veteran Lib Dem Councillor Flick Rea welcomed him:
I’m delighted that Andrew and I will now be Liberal Democrat colleagues on the Council.
Like Andrew, the Lib Dems passionately believe that Camden benefits from EU membership. I know that many other liberal minded Camden residents who have previously supported the Conservatives are dismayed by the Government’s hard Brexit agenda.

Welcome to the Party Andrew !!
Welcome aboard.
A bit of Googling says he supported Yes in the AV referendum – so some actual tangible evidence of support for constitutional reform.
Welcome 🙂
What excellent news !!
