The PP on the Canaries will try and get the British to use their postal votes in the U.K. election
The Partido Popular on Tenerife is to actively collaborate with the British Conservative Party ahead of the U.K. elections on May 6.
The spokesperson for the PP on Tenerife, Zaida González, held a press conference on Thursday to say that they will try and get the English residents on the island to vote by post for David Cameron.
‘This election is of great importance’, she said, ‘as the polls show that the Conservative Party could return to government after 13 years in opposition’.
She described the Partido Popular help as ‘vital’ as there are 40,000 British citizens resident on the Canaries, 23,000 of them on Tenerife.
Also present at the PP Press Conference was the President of Conservatives Abroad on Tenerife, John Hughes, the President of the local PP, Guillermo Meca, and the Executive Secretary for International Police for the PP on Tenerife, Juan Antonio Morell.
The latter said that they had added a link to the Tory website in the UK from their page at www.pptenerife.es where advice would be given to British voters who want to vote by post. Morell also said that posters in English would be put up in all their local offices, and the PP will attend to any Briton who wants to vote in the UK at their offices in Puerto de la Cruz.
