Hardworking local MP Paul Burstow has launched his campaign for re-election as Sutton and Cheam's Member of Parliament. Paul Burstow has served as Member of Parliament since 1997.
Paul Burstow has won a reputation as an effective and hardworking local Member of Parliament. Recently named the hardest working out of London's 74 MPs.
The national Guardian newspaper has described him as "One of the most knowledgeable and effective politicians on older people's issues". He has also been praised by Help the Aged who named him as their Older People's Champion.
Mr Burstow is well known for taking up local concerns, such as the future of St Helier hospital, local postal services and his campaign to save the local magistrates court from closure.
Nationally Paul Burstow is part of Charles Kennedy's front bench team as the Liberal Democrats Shadow Health Secretary.
Commenting on the forthcoming election Paul Burstow said:
"At last the phoney election is over and people can make their voice heard. Over the last four years it has been the Liberal Democrats in parliament who have been the real opposition to Tony Blair. On Iraq, on tuition fees, on ID cards and so much more. Now the country is crying out for a real alternative.
"I am looking forward to the campaign and all the signs are that nationally and locally the Liberal Democrats are set to gain more votes and win more seats."
