Just two weeks to go, and postal voters should have received their ballot forms.
The campaign in Newton Abbot is going strongly, and it is clearly a race between Martin Wrigley and the Tory.
Proven winner, Teignbridge District Councillor Martin Wrigley is the Liberal Democrat candidate for the Newton Abbot constituency and is campaigning hard.
Martin said "The reaction from residents on the doorstep has been great. Many people tell me that they are fed up of the mess that national politics is in, and that they are ready for a change.
"I have a good record of standing up for the community and would carry that forward as MP to be a strong voice for the area, and to demand a fair deal for Devon."
Martin Wrigley has been endorsed by both the People's Vote campaign and Devon for Europe.
Local election results, European election results, national polling and a strongly positive reaction on the doorstep all point to it being a two horse race in Newton Abbot. It is a direct choice between the Tory and Martin Wrigley for Newton Abbot.
Martin trained as an engineer and has a background in the hi-tech industry. He has served in local government for over 5 years - including a recent term as the Mayor of Dawlish.
Long an active member of the community, as a town and district councillor Martin has proved himself an outspoken champion of local and environmental causes and a worthy advocate in the fight for social justice.
Martin now wants to take this fight to Westminster: "I feel honoured to have been chosen as the local parliamentary candidate for the Teignbridge Newton Abbot constituency and look forward immensely to the challenges that lie ahead. I care deeply about the area in which I live and want to do more to help our town, village and coastal communities.
"Making headlines for all the wrong reasons, our Tory MP has long been considered out of step. With an election on December 12th, many are telling me she is also out of time. I will continue to knock on doors across the constituency to learn more about what you want from your representative at Westminster - and how I can serve you and our communities better in the future."

"Johnson's Brexit lies have caused huge damage to our public services already."
Boris's lie on the side of a bus was an even bigger whopper than we thought. Not only does Brexit not mean an extra £350 million a week for the NHS...
In reality, it means £350 million a week less.
And that's before we've even left.

The economy usually features heavily in election discourse.
But this time the two main parties have opted for silly economics instead. It's either pursuing a Brexit that we know will damage the economy or a reckless spending plan we can't afford.
But you can't fool business. Over 60 business leaders have named us as the 'only party who have set out a credible plan for future prosperity'.

"Almost the only people who think Johnson a nice guy are those who do not know him."
It's a statement made by Max Hastings, Johnson's former boss at the Telegraph. He's not the only person who has worked with Boris Johnson who has gone public with their criticisms.
Here's a collection of quotes from his Conservative colleagues:

This Thursday marks one of the most important elections in a generation. If Boris Johnson wins a majority, he will push through his disastrous Brexit plan. He will also plunge us headfirst into some of the most extreme economic policies in decades.
This won't just ruin Christmas, like forgetting the stuffing or not taking your stockings down before lighting the fire. It will be disastrous for our country for decades to come.

"We are the only party standing up for Remainers."
Every vote for the Liberal Democrats is a vote to stop Boris and stop Brexit.
The more Liberal Democrat MPs we have in Parliament, the stronger our hand will be in stopping Johnson's catastrophic Brexit plans. We have legislation ready to go to secure a People's Vote with the option to stay in the EU.

Each of them are driving populist, nationalist and authoritarian values. It's no surprise that Boris Johnson, Nigel Farage and Donald Trump have such a special relationship.
Their unholy alliance has the potential to risk Britain's future. With the three of them working together to stitch up of our democracy, it's important that we stop Boris in his attempt to creep back into No. 10.

What a year we've had!
2019 has been a record year for membership. People from all parties and none have joined our campaign to stop Brexit.
We deserve better than two old parties who take our country for granted.
We won the Brecon and Radnorshire Parliamentary by-election in the summer, cutting Boris Johnson's majority.

Our country and our businesses deserve better than a choice between a hard Brexit under Johnson or the hard left under Corbyn.
Both parties would damage businesses through their plans to end free movement and deprive our fast-growing businesses of the talent they need to compete globally.
The Liberal Democrats are the natural party of business, with a clear plan to stop Brexit, save free movement and focus on addressing the real issues facing our economy.
We will build a brighter future by securing the UK's place as a global research powerhouse, supporting our entrepreneurs, and creating good jobs in new and growing industries.

There are just days to go until the UK goes to the polls in the 2019 general election. Now, more than ever, it's crucial that we stop Boris Johnson in his pursuit of a hard Brexit and a far-right Conservative government.
If you weren't already convinced, here are just a few things Johnson would do to Britain if he manages to stay in No. 10 and why we must stop him.
"Changing Britain's Future: no one shall be enslaved by poverty, ignorance or conformity"
