I would like to thank everyone who turned out to vote in last week’s General Election.
I would particularly like to thank those who voted Liberal Democrat in sufficient numbers to return me to parliament.
Regardless of how people voted last Thursday, anyone needing my help as a Member of Parliament need only ask and they will have it.
The challenges facing the new parliament will be immense. In meeting these challenges I shall always put the interests of the isles first.
Alistair Carmichael MP
The Old Manse,
Evie,
