It is with some personal regret that I am today announcing my withdrawal from the Henley by-election.
Having spent the last week campaigning from Thame to Henley, it's become apparent to me how much money, and how many people, the Westminster parties are throwing at this election. As a relatively new entrant to British political life, the Libertarian Party simply doesn't currently have the resources needed to compete in such a febrile environment.
This is a great shame, as our message needs to be heard now more than ever. Labour, the Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats alike all advocate increasing big-government intrusion in our daily lives, and continuing the failed tax and spend policies of our current government.
As our economy daily plunges closer to that last seen in the 1970s, the British public need to know that there is another way of running this country of ours, a way that puts ordinary people first, and politicians a very distant second.
Sadly, that message was being drowned out in Henley by the other parties, through sheer weight of numbers.
I would like to thank everyone who supported me whilst I was campaigning, and in particular all those residents of Henley and Thame who listened to my party's message -- that of a genuine alternative to 'business as usual' at Westminster -- with such enthusiasm.
Thank You.

A shame, I was interested in how well you would do.
