Lib Dem joins the Mebyon Kernow party
A former Liberal Democrat councillor who represented his party for ten years on Cornwall County Council has joined Mebyon Kernow.
Brian Higman, who is now a member of Roche Parish Council, said he had become "disillusioned" with Nick Clegg's party, adding that by being part of the nationalist group he could "better serve his community". Mr Higman, who also served for many years on Restormel Borough Council and was borough mayor in 1994, said he had become "fed up with national politics".
He said: "Now is the time to ensure that politics in Cornwall is actually for the good of Cornwall. That is why I am pleased to be joining and supporting Mebyon Kernow."
Another prominent parish councillor pinning his colours to the MK banner this week is businessman Matt Facey, who serves as vice-chairman of Mevagissey Parish Council.

“If you read the article again, josdave, you might notice that Brian Higman isn't currently a Cornwall Councillor.”

“Another one afraid of losing his seat at the election. I bet he doen't have the guts to resign and stand again in his new colours he'll cling on to his expenses to the last minute.”
