Response to Labour attempts to deselect East Lothian MP

January 24, 2010 11:28 AM

Jim Hume MSP and Stuart Ritchie at Haddington Farmers MarketResponding to the news that East Lothian Labour Party have passed a vote of no confidence in Anne Moffat MP, Stuart Ritchie, East Lothian Liberal Democrat Candidate said:

"The Labour Party know that the people of East Lothian were about to deliver their own vote of no confidence on both the current MP and the Westminster government. No amount of rearranging the chairs on the Titanic is going to stop East Lothian Labour Party from their inevitable electoral defeat."

"For too long the Labour Party has only been interested in petty internal arguments and their own egos. Come the General Election the people of East Lothian can at last vote for a candidate and a party that will put them first, instead of the personal feuds that is rife in the local Labour Party."
