WARRINGTON South is one of the 60 seats in England and Wales that will be covered by the “Unite to Remain” deal between the Liberal Democrats and the Green Party.
The Green Party has agreed to step aside in the constituency to give pro-Remain Liberal Democrat Cllr Ryan Bate, a boost.
Cllr Bate said: “I am delighted with this arrangement which will help elect more pro-Remain MPs in the next Parliament. I am very grateful to the local Green Party for agreeing to this. It shows that both our parties are putting the national interest above party politics.
“We have our differences with the Green Party but we are at one in our commitment to remain in Europe and to combating climate change. These are the two biggest issues facing us at present.
“This is an exciting day for those in Warrington who are committed to standing together to stop Brexit. The Liberal Democrats would invest the £50 billion Remain bonus in our public services and building a Brighter Future. People in Warrington would benefit from more money invested in our children’s education, tackling the climate emergency and properly funding our mental health services.
“I am now the clear Remain candidate in Warrington South. Corbyn is a Brexiteer and Labour’s policy on Europe is totally confusing. His claim to be ‘real change’ stretches incredulity and if anything he represents the tired old politics he pretends to fight against. His promise to get Brexit sorted is ridiculous. Both Labour and the Tories are offering two competing versions of the past led by leaders who bitterly divide their parties and our country.”

Well that’s an interesting spin on it. Considering LD don’t have a chance of winning the seat
Well that’s another 3 votes for the deluded Lib Dems.
