Lib Dems pick former MP in bid to take south Shropshire seat
Former Lib Dem MP Matthew Green has been confirmed as the Liberal Democrat prospective parliamentary candidate for South Shropshire.
Matthew Green who was Ludlow’s MP from 2001 to 2005 said: “From conversations with local residents on doorsteps over the past couple of years, it has become clear that the overwhelming mood of the electorate is to see this shameful Conservative Government removed from office.
“When Chris Naylor sadly had to, for health reasons, step back from being the LibDem candidate for South Shropshire, many people asked me to put myself forward.
"They did so because they believe I represent the best chance of ensuring that South Shropshire does not return a Tory MP, as I am the only person to have beaten the Tories in the constituency in the past 100 years.
