Welcome to the web site of David Chappell
Parliamentary Campaigner for Bury St Edmunds
David is delighted to have been selected to fight the seat of Bury St Edmunds at the next General Election.
The 2007 May Council results showed the Liberal Democrats in a strong second place with 12,720 votes compared to Labour on 4,782 votes and the Tories on 23,666.
In 2009 the electoral map in Bury St Edmunds changed. The traditionally high Tory vote fell from 25,445 from the County vote of 2005 to 16,854. Probably due to a variety of issues such as Tory support for the scrapping of Middle Schools; high salaries for public servants; and the publicity given to the local MP's expenses claims.
Meanwhile the Labour vote in the County Elections fell to an all time low of 3,814.
The key issue for the electorate in Bury St Edmunds will be to either maintain the existing Tory MP, or to vote in a Lib Dem MP and help create a hung parliament which might lead to a long overdue change in how things are done in the UK.
