Popular Northwest MEP Sajjad Karim has decided to join the Conservative Party. The Lib Dem of 18 years announced that while David Cameron’s Conservatives are tackling the tough questions with exiting answers, the Lib Dems are protecting the past, the Conservative Party has a real vision. David Cameron’s recent discussion of immigration in moderate and calm measure, or announcing support for cooperative schools is far more imaginative than the Lib Dems, who having their second leadership election in less than 2 years.
Many Liberal Democrats across the country are joining the Conservatives, as they realise that only David Cameron can offer a true liberal alternative to the controlling instincts of Gordon Brown’s New Labour. I am sure than Sajjad will continue to represent the Northwest with distinction within our excellent Conservative group in the European Parliament. It is a shame for Northwest Liberal Democrats that while losing true believers in freedom like Sajjad, they will now be represented by controversial and out of touch Chris Davies, who believes we should adopt the full European Constitution, even without the Red Lines and should adopt one child policies!!! (see below for links to Chris Davies, self described, controversial, MEP).
