The Hastings & Rye Liberal Democrat Association has unanimously re-selected Nick Perry to be their candidate for MP.

Speaking after the event Association Chair Chris Lewcock said:

‘We are delighted to be able to announce that Nick will be our candidate for MP in 2015.‎ He has a proven record of action for the constituency and has the experience to be a strong voice for us all in Westminster.’

Nick Perry, who was the Liberal Democrat candidate at the 2010 General Election and improved the party’s vote share said,

‘I am honoured to have been given such a strong endorsement by the local party. And I remain absolutely convinced that the country needs Liberal Democrats in Parliament: to ensure that we have a stronger economy as well as a fairer society. Folk are only too aware that on their own, Labour can’t be trusted on the economy, nor the Conservatives to deliver a fairer society. Liberal Democrats have a difficult job to do, but we continue to roll up our sleeves and get on with it.’
