Liberal Democrat Quinton Selected as Parliamentary Candidate for S W Herts

Liberal Democrat members crowded in to the Old Court House in Berkhamsted last month to hear Nigel Quinton speaking after his selection as the Liberal Democrat Parliamentary Candidate for South West Hertfordshire, following an all-member ballot. Nigel reminded members of the values and aspirations that bind the party together and make the Liberal Democrats so distinctive from the other parties. "The Liberal Democrats," he said, "are working to bring about three main aims - a fairer society, a stronger economy and a social structure in which everyone is enabled to get on in life." Nigel Quinton lives in Lemsford with his wife and two teenage daughters. He was brought up in a Liberal family, his mother being a councillor for many years in Bristol and Lancaster. After graduating as a geologist, Nigel had a successful career in the tough world of oil exploration in a mix of large and small companies which included Hertfordshire based start-ups Dragon Oil and Sterling Energy.
