Thank you to everyone who voted for Conservative!

Well done, thank god Ward has finally gone. Maybe Watford can lead the way now and stop towing the Labour party line.
What a great result for Watford. I was starting to despair at the sea of orange paper pouring through my door – it has been going on for far too long. At last we have returned to the right party.
Now all Richard has to do is to consolidate his position and work for a higher majority next time.
I feel that the forthcoming few months will be critical for the Conservatives in Westminster and local candidates will suffer if they don’t get the tough decisions right.
Good luck Richard and well done!
Dear Richard,
Just a quick note from me and Mum to say we are so glad all your hard work and the hard work of those around you (including us!) paid off.
Well done and all the best.
Karen and Pam Bell
Well done Richard. We don’t feel that we know you just yet but hopefully that will change over the next few weeks and months as you get established in Watford. I was getting very irritated by the LibDem’s arrogant “Conservatives cannot win in Watford’ and ‘Sal winning here’ assertions (and all their paper through my letterbox!). May have had some truth last time around but this time you showed them!
Excellent result.
well done Richard! a well deserved victory.
Great result not only for you but everyone in the Watford team who have worked so hard to get this election process up and running from scratch. Now we all have the task of supporting you. May you have a great time as out MP, Watford and the country needs Conservative Government to help get it back on its feet again.
Leave your response!
Get involved!
