Local resident Colin Firth backs Lib Dems for fundamental change in politics
Thu 29th Apr 2010
Oscar-nominated and Bafta Award winning actor, campaigner for refugee rights and local resident Colin Firth is backing the Liberal Democrats at this election having previously supported Labour. Colin Firth first gained wide public attention for his portrayal of Mr Darcy in the 1995 television adaption of Pride and Prejudice. He achieved film stardom with 'Bridget Jones's Diary' and in February 2010 received an Academy Award nomination for his work in 'A Single Man', for which he won the BAFTA for Best Actor. Lib Dem prospective MP Cllr Andrew Dakers welcomed the news. He is a signatory to the Liberty-Refugee Council parliamentary candidates' pledge on refugee rights. Colin Firth's support is one among many indicators of growing support for Andrew Dakers. In the past few weeks bookies odds on Cllr Dakers winning the parliamentary seat have started to swing strongly in the Liberal Democrat's favour.
