Within a few weeks, the country will be facing its first December election since 1923. That means a Corbyn government could be in power by Christmas.
Our main opponents in South Cambridgeshire are the Liberal Democrats, who in a hung parliament could form an alliance with Labour and put Jeremy Corbyn and his Marxist allies into No.10. Corbyn wants to raise taxes to the highest rates we’ve ever had in peacetime. He wants to rack up our debt by putting politicians in charge of our trains, water, energy and broadband. He wants to allow sympathy strikes with workers anywhere in the world. And he wants the rest of us to pay for it.
Why risk a Corbyn government? If you are unable to vote in person at the polling station, guarantee your say with a postal vote or a proxy vote.
