Your Choice
In South Cambridgeshire, it’s your choice: more Conservative chaos and failure or a fresh start with Lib Dem Pippa Heylings
With the next General Election fast approaching, and the future of our community and our country on the line, we all face a huge choice. Do we want more of the same chaos, failure and incompetence from the Conservatives? Or do we want a fresh start and a fair deal? On doorsteps right across our area, people are asking how they can use their vote to send the Government a message and get the hardworking MP our area deserves. In South Cambridgeshire constituency, whichever way you look at it, it’s between Rishi Sunak’s Conservative candidate and Liberal Democrat Pippa Heylings. Here’s why:
The Lib Dems lost out by less than 3,000 votes last time…
In December 2019, the Liberal Democrats narrowly missed out on beating the Conservatives in South Cambridgeshire while Labour finished in a distant third place. Lots of local people have shared how disappointed they were to miss the opportunity for change here.
…and on the new constituency boundaries, the result last time would have been even closer.
The next General Election will be held on new constituency boundaries – but that doesn’t change the choice in South Cambs. The official analysis, published by the Guardian, shows that the result last time would have been even closer between the Lib Dems and the Conservatives on the new boundaries - with Labour still in a distant third place.
Labour have almost no presence across rural South Cambs…
Labour only have three district councillors in the new constituency, and they’re all in one ward. They just don’t have the support right across the area to win. Meanwhile, the Liberal Democrats have 22 district councillors in the constituency.
…meanwhile, the Lib Dems are WINNING right across our community.
Since the last General Election, only the Liberal Democrats have made gains from the Conservatives in our constituency. In 2022, the Lib Dems strengthened their control of South Cambs District Council – winning 37 of the 45 seats – and have won by-elections in South Cambridgeshire as recently as November.
Labour HQ have called South Cambs a ‘non-battleground’ seat…
Labour Party HQ have put South Cambridgeshire on their list of non-battleground seats which means they’ve deprioritised our constituency. They aren’t targeting South Cambs to win - they’re focusing their campaign resources on places where they can beat the Conservatives.
…and they hadn’t even selected their candidate until May!
Labour hadn’t even selected a candidate for the General Election in South Cambs until May – the constitiuency just isn’t a priority for them. Meanwhile, Lib Dem Pippa Heylings has spent years campaigning in our community and delivering for local people.
The recent YouGov mega poll has tipped the Lib Dems to win here…
YouGov’s January ‘mega poll’, the largest survey of its kind for 5 years, updated in April, has Lib Dem Pippa winning South Cambs at the next General Election – with Labour in a distant third place. But we can’t be complacent – only with thousands of residents lending their vote to the Lib Dems can we beat the Conservatives here.
…and Pippa and the strong Lib Dem team are fighting day in, day out for South Cambs.
While the Conservatives take us for granted, Pippa is already working tirelessly for our community – standing up for residents struggling with the cost of living, fighting for better access to local NHS services, and leading the campaign to protect our environment. Just think what she could achieve as our next MP.
Whichever way you look at it, it’s a clear choice in South Cambridgeshire at the next General Election. By lending your vote to Lib Dem Pippa this time, we can make sure the Conservatives are beaten in South Cambs.
