Statement to voters
I have worked consistently for the Communities of Lincoln and surrounding towns and villages since 2000 as a candidate and town and parish councillor, as a Liberal Democrat, Independent and now Liberal Party Councillor.
Full statement
I chose to change from the Liberal Democrats to the Liberal Party for the reasons given below:
Dear Elector , In April 2019 I formally left the Liberal Democrats and explained the reasons for resigning:- 1. The party stance on Brexit and unwillingness to recognise and provide a platform for liberal leavers. 2. The appalling internal communications emails which effectively make it almost impossible for activists and members to directly contact officers. 3. The lack of promotion of Town and Parish Councillors on an equal basis with other member politicians. 4. The lack of new selection procedures to abolish central approval lists and the drafting in of candidates nationwide.(e.g like you did in Hazel Grove and other constituencies) 5. Deliberate obstruction of electoral pacts with Liberals. 7. Complete lack of public speaking out about the costs and political intentions of the EU and therefore miss informing young people of the dangers in the EU as opposed to the benefits and potentially surrendering constitutional independence and their future freedom and human rights in order to keep MEP's, EU appointments and party funding. Consequently, I resigned my Liberal Democrat membership very sadly having worked with officers and MP's since the time of Richard Wainwright MP of Colne Valley....a great Liberal and am consequently joining The Liberal Party as a Councillor and now Parliamentary Candidate. I very deeply regretted this but could no longer be identified with a party which so wilfully works against the express will of the people in a referendum it promoted and whose outcome it promised to observe
I hope the above gives some useful information to those reading this site and is the same as printed in my local election material as is the personal information below. You will also find me on YouTube at the time of the referendum on the EU membership and on the 'Centre' website formerly Liberal Leave.
Charles Shaw (from my local town and parish leaflet) Charles Shaw has worked hard as a community activist and as local councillor for the last eight years and despite having been a Liberal Democrat spoke out in support of the Vote Leave Campaign and was the Vote Leave coordinator for the Lincoln area and has continued to speak out against the badly managed EU exit. He campaigns often and speaks on the media regularly. Charles is a family man who equally speaks out about the total disregard for the traditions of our local communities in favour of bland government which is more concerned with politically correct processes than really helping. As an environmentalist, he does not want our children to be part of ‘The Waste generation’ and believes happy families come from young people being shown how to manage for themselves and be given opportunities to grow as well as conform. As chair of One East Midlands and of Lincolnshire Council for Voluntary Youth Services he leads the charge for better support for the voluntary sector which contributes so much to our community and upon which many depend. If you would like to talk to Charles about the current state of local government or politics or just give a hand in future campaigns please email electionmessage@outlook.com or telephone 07760 843910 or write to any of the addresses featured in this leaflet. Engagement in Politics is not just about the current General Election and Charles Shaw is keen to encourage more people to stand for local town, parish, district and county councils if you could like to do so yourself or are just thinking about it and would like to have an informal chat on the subject please do contact Charles Shaw who will be happy to help without obligation.
