Removal of Liberal Democrat candidate.
editIt would appear that the same user has removed the Liberal democrat candidate twice now without explanation, despite the candidate being listed on the cited reference (#4). I have reverted back to including the LibDem candidate. Can I have others comments please as this may turn into a prolonged edit war which is not what anyone wants I expect... T
Before this is edited again we need to have a discussion to debate the reasons for removing the candidate.

- All the sources without exception point to David Morton being the correct Lib Dem candidate. All I can assume is the person(s) changing this is simple vandalism. - Galloglass 13:26, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
- Pudsey Liberal Democrats website [1] still list David Morton as the candidate. - Galloglass 23:14, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
- Perhaps we should consider having the page semi-protected for a while? - Galloglass 11:33, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
Hi I have been editing this page I am the Leeds Central Lib Dem membership sectary, the link you have is wrong as David Morton stepped down as a councillor in Leeds more than three years ago and stepped down as candidate for the Pudsey at around the same time. The New Candidate Jamie Matthews was selected yesterday he is councillor for the Headingly ward in Leeds [2] I will see if I can find a better link —Preceding unsigned comment added by Paulnrswain (talk • contribs) 12:16, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
- We are all aware that Jamie Matthews is a Lib Dem councillor in Leeds. The problem we have is there is no evidence he is the candidate for Pudsey. And unfortunately persons have been changing the candidate on this page to Jamie Matthews for rather longer than yesterday. Which does not give us much confidence to change it when all the evidence we find points to Morton. - Galloglass 12:24, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
As we approach the end of the semi-protection I note that the Pudsey Liberal Democrats website [3] still has David Morton listed. I have found a twitter update from Jamie Matthews [4], however that is not an independantly verifiable source. Mark.s.shaw (talk) 19:33, 24 February 2010 (UTC)
