Harborough, Oadby & Wigston Liberal Democrats

Support Liberal Democrat campaigns in Harborough, Oadby & Wigston

The Liberal Democrats rely on donations from local residents.

Because we're not backed by big business or trades unions, all our leaflets and campaigning materials are paid for and distributed through local donations and support.

At a General Election each candidate by law can spend just over £15,000 during the campaign and much more in preparation for an election.

You can be sure that the Conservatives will spend every penny of that.

Please consider making a donation TODAY.. Over 70,000 people elect our MP and local councillors. We want to contact all of them.
