Cornish Liberals quit and say "Vote UKIP"

Graham Smith | 23:55 UK time, Wednesday, 14 April 2010

The Cornish Liberal Party is quitting the general election and throwing its limited weight behind UKIP.

The - which is absolutely not to be confused with the Liberal Democrats - had been considering contesting four constituencies, with Truro & Falmouth the most likely.

Now party spokesman Chris Tankard writes to say the Liberals

"have agreed to stand down from the election and will work with UKIP to try to show the nation how seriously we in Cornwall take the threat to our nation and our historic freedoms of continuing membership of the EU."

The Cornish Liberals have their roots in the old pre-1988 Liberal Party, before its merger with Dr David Owen's Social Democratic Party and the birth of today's Lib Dems.
