A Week with Watson

Graham Watson, working for you.

The Liberal Democrats want to get a fair deal from Europe for the West Country and Gibraltar. Led by Graham Watson MEP the Liberal Democrats are Europe's 'critical friend'. Liberal Democrats are best placed to tackle cross-border issues like climate change and crime.

June 4th 2009 will be polling day for the next European Elections. The more people who support the Liberal Democrats - the more we can do to get a fair deal for the West Country and Gibraltar.

The six Liberal Democrat candidates for the South west region are:

Kay Barnard is a Somerset farmer. She wants to join Graham and work to reform the Common Agricultural Policy. She looks set to be the only farmer on the ticket of a major party in the region. Let's send a farmer to Brussels!

Our constituency includes Cornwall, Devon, Somerset, Dorset, Wiltshire, Gloucestershire and the former Avon county. It also includes Gibraltar.

Liberal Democrats:

The Liberal Democrats will give people the help they need.

The European Parliament election is a big choice for Britain.
