MALCOLM MOSS MP DELIGHT AT ELECTION RESULT

STRONG GAINS ACROSS THE COUNTRY IN LOCAL AND EUROPEAN ELECTIONS FOR CONSERVATIVES

North East Cambridgeshire MP Malcolm Moss has expressed his delight at the results from last Thursday’s local and European elections, but he also warns that lessons need to be learnt from both UKIP and BNP gains.

The Conservative Party have extended their majority in Cambridgeshire County Council to 16 seats and in North East Cambridgeshire all the County Council Divisions now have Conservative Councillors.

Malcolm Moss MP said:

“I am delighted at the recent Conservative election victories across the country and particularly here in Cambridgeshire. The Conservatives have an excellent track record in serving the local people and I am confident that this will continue.”

Similar success was seen in the European Union election results with the Conservative Party maintaining their position in the Eastern Region and extending the total number of MEP’s in the country in the European Parliament to 25. However Malcolm Moss is concerned at the recent gains made by the BNP in Europe , where they gained their first seats and in local elections where their share of the vote increased:

“Whilst I am pleased at the election results there is a clear wake up call for all involved in politics, in particular this crumbling government. The BNP’s gains ought to remind us of the need to address the issues of immigration and that we cannot continue have an open door policy. We must manage the influx of migrant labour otherwise we risk adding more pressure onto our creaking public services such  the NHS, schools, housing, local authority services and public transport systems. As far as the UKIP results in the European elections are concerned this is a reminder to parliament that there is still a very strong anti-European feeling among a wide swathe of the electorate. Hopefully, David Cameron’s promise of a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty will show many UKIP voters that the Conservative Party means business in adopting a much tougher stance towards Europe and that this will bring many UKIP voters back into the fold for the next general election.”
