With less than three weeks before the General Election, the Enfield Independent has asked each candidate tell us their five reasons people should vote for them.

Liberal Democrat candidate for Edmonton, David Schmitz, told us his five reasons people should vote for him on May 7.

You would get a Lib Dem MP, who would be part of a team that would balance the books, but would be careful not to do it at the expense of the vulnerable.


You would get someone with experience as a lawyer and a borough councillor, who can get things done for any constituent who needs my help.


You would get a family man who uses local services and understands the challenged they face.


You would get an active local citizen who serves as a school governor and raises money for local charities.


Isn’t that enough?
