Julia Goldsworthy

In his keynote speech to the Liberal Democrat Conference, Party Leader and Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg has outlined his goals for the Government and the country over the coming years. He reiterated his commitment to liberal values on the environment and human rights and his determination to ensure a fair chance for every child, saying "every child can do good things, great things, if only we give them the opportunities they deserve."

On 5th May you have a choice. You can keep the discredited First Past the Post system to elect our MPs, or you can choose a new and fairer system - Alternative Vote (AV). Back the campaign for change at www.YesToFairerVotes.org

AV is a small change that makes a big difference.

Saying YES! to Fairer Votes Means:

Last night was the final of the three televised Leaders' debates. Leader of the Liberal Democrats, Nick Clegg, debated with Gordon Brown and David Cameron about the economy. Subjects discussed included breaking up the banks, creating more jobs and reinvigorating the British economy.

Most post-debate polls scored this final debate to David Cameron, but again put Nick Clegg clearly ahead of Gordon Brown. An analysis by pollsters Angus Reid of previously undecided voters who watched the debate gave Nick Clegg 37%, David Cameron 25%, Gordon Brown 22% and Not sure 16%. Angus Reid found that 32% of undecided voters say they are now more likely to vote for the Liberal Democrats after watching the final debate, with just 18% Conservative and 15% Labour.

Hayle will be in safe hands with Julia Goldsworthy, former MP Andrew George has said. Mr George has stepped down as the town's MP after 13 years due to boundary changes, and will instead be standing in the St Ives seat. Hayle becomes part of the Camborne and Redruth constituency.

Mr George said voters would be in safe hands with Lib Dem Julia Goldsworthy, who was elected as the MP for Falmouth and Camborne in 2005.

A pilot scheme to improve information about the water quality of Cornwall's beaches will start this summer. Porthtowan and Gwithian beaches are to be included in a new trial that will help ensure a speedy response to water pollution incidents, and provide better quality information to members of the public using Cornwall's beaches.

An average of five polls conducted immediately after the Sky TV Leaders Election debate on Thursday night put Nick Clegg as the winner, with all instant polls showing him ahead of Gordon Brown. After the Foreign Affairs-led debate from Bristol dominated by issues like Iraq, immigration and climate change, Nick Clegg won 3 of the 5 polls on the night, building on his position after the first debate.

The former branch chair of Redruth Labour party has declared her support for local Lib Dem candidate Julia Goldsworthy in the general election. Janet Brook, who stood as a Labour council candidate in 2001, said her political views had not changed - but the Labour Party had.

She said: "I have always supported Labour, and was closely involved in the local Labour Party here in Redruth. But now I believe that the party has changed. The Lib Dems are the only party standing up for ordinary working people, which is why I am supporting Julia Goldsworthy."
