René Kinzett, a recent defector from the LibDems, has been selected as our candidate in Swansea West. Labour hold the seat with the LibDems in second place. René Kinzett issued the following statement:
"I am honoured that local Party Members have put their trust in me to contest Swansea West at the next General Election. I am excited about the opportunities for my Party in this seat. With Gordon Brown's Government failing on issues such as party funding and the missing benefits data discs, the chances of Conservative victories in seats like Swansea West have never looked better. The last Assembly Elections saw a rise in the Conservative vote in Swansea West and we now have some excellent candidates lined up in our target areas for next May's local council elections in which we expect to make big gains at the expense of the other parties. Against a background of a failing Labour Government and increased support locally and nationally for the Conservatives, the next election will be a very interesting contest in Swansea West. It is a contest we will fight to win".
