First becoming interested in politics before he was old enough to vote, Chris's passion for the Liberal Democrats really started in his first year at University in Cheltenham. Seeing a town different to his own being run by Liberal Democrats cemented his beliefs that the Liberal Democrats philosophy to Government was fairer and more effective than the way Swindon has been run for many years.
Having lived in Covingham and Nythe Ward all his life, Chris feels passionately about his local area and believes that his enthusiasm and energy for representing people will make him an ideal candidate for Covingham and Nythe.
As well as standing in Covingham and Nythe, Chris is working hard for the YES campaign on the Alternative Vote referendum. Chris likes AV because it will mean fewer extremists end up in Parliament and MPs will have to work harder to win. Most MPs get elected despite only being supported by a minority of people, AV would force MPs to engage with more voters. Chris knows AV will also ends the Jobs For Life culture. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to change our politics to a get a fairer vote. Vote Chris Ward and YES to AV on May 5th.
