ELECTIONS: Prime Minister visits Yeovil constituency

PRIME Minister David Cameron was in the Yeovil constituency today (Sunday, April 26, 2015) flying the flag for the Conservatives.

The Tory Party leader was joined by supporters in the village of Norton-sub-Hamdon – the home of former Liberal Democrat leader and Yeovil MP Paddy Ashdown – to talk about his future plans for the economy.

He was joined by the Conservative candidate for Yeovil, Marcus Fysh, who will be looking to win the seat at the General Election on Thursday, May 7, 2015.

Mr Fysh will be vying for the seat with current Yeovil MP David Laws, of the Liberal Democrats, who is looking to retain it for a fourth term having initially won it back in 2001.

Also standing in the Yeovil constituency will be Sheena King for Labour; Emily McIvor for the Green Party and Simon Smedley for the UK Independence Party.
