Paddy Ashdown Visits Totnes

Yesterday afternoon Paddy Ashdown visited Totnes to campaign for the election of Julian Brazil. Paddy spoke to local media before walking to the Civic Square where he made an inspiring speech urging the people of Totnes to vote for change. Paddy personally recommended Julian Brazil as being a candidate with a proven reputation for serving the people of the Totnes constituency.

Paddy was well received by a sizable crowd which had gathered in the Civic Square. Paddy and Julian both took time after the speech to speak to people individually, before Julian had to leave to attend a hustings in Dartington. The main message of the day was that the Liberal Democrats are a party of change, and that if given power by the voters they would be motivated by policy rather than the old style of Westminster politics.
