Duncan Hames launches election campaign with pledge to help clean up politics12.00.00am BST (GMT +0100) Wed 7th Apr 2010
Local Lib Dem campaigner, Duncan Hames has launched his bid to be our next MP by publicly signing a declaration to say that he will be a full time MP for our area. On Tuesday 6th of April, shortly after the date of the election was announced, Duncan was joined by supporters, members of the press and former Lib Dem leader, Paddy Ashdown at a packed General Election launch rally in Melksham. Duncan used the rally as an opportunity to publicly sign the Ministry of Justice Declaration of Interests - in which he states that he will give up his business and all other paid work if he is elected as our next MP - a pledge the Conservative candidate has so far failed to match. Duncan said: "I was delighted that Paddy was able to join us in Melksham to witness my signing of the declaration. "This election is our chance to clean up politics in Wiltshire after the recent expenses scandal, but to do that, candidates must first be open and honest with the voters. This declaration is my promise to local people. You can hold me to it. "I am calling on my fellow candidates in Chippenham to follow me in making this declaration - to be honest with local people. We deserve nothing less." The full text of the declaration is published here on Duncan's website for everyone to see: http://www.duncanhames.org.uk/chippenham/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/doi.pdf.
