“My fellow constituencies, with Election Day growing ever closing, I think it can be well said that this has been a hard fought campaign by us. The Liberal Party has seen in the last few months an unprecedented surge in support from men and women across Britain. With such a wide range in support from all types of people, it is apparent that the Liberals are the party of all Britons. Rather than exploit the anger of the working class, or the anger of the industrial class, we have established a platform of equality among all of our voters to work towards a stronger, better society for all of us. Since I joined the campaign for a Liberal Britain, I have had the pleasure of meeting new bright faces who have felt rejected by the duopoly, and yearn for a new way forward. These are the people who are tired of the so called “alternates” offered to them by the duopoly, when it is evident that the latter favors less change and more of the same. I have not been able stress enough that our nation requires a sensible, progressive force to take the reins and deal with the problems should have been solved a long, long time ago.
I must say, however, there is a tendency for campaign rhetoric to dilute or overpower the facts in crucial moments such as this. Make no mistake, millions of our people have become unemployed in the past few years. Today our industries and businesses no longer are self-sustaining are really on heavy amounts of government subsidies. Our middle class is shrinking, as many people are now falling into the enlarging pool of lower income workers. We now need a government that can do better to help those in need. The Labour-Conservatives had a total of five years, didn't they? Therefore, I don't believe, looking at the rather inactive Jacobs ministry as a reference, that the Tories have as much success in government as Labour. With an explosive deficit that the government has left, we need to careful when dealing with the issues with hurting Britons. Make no mistake, the Tories will do far more than slash our budget, as tax rises are the next quiet step in the Tory plan to reduce the deficit. After the destructive fiscal policies we have endured over the last several years, why must the British people suffer more? We must decry the economic policies derived from big business and radical interests and look into what the British people are asking for. The Liberals will give the Britain a smooth transition from the economic mistakes made in recent years, rather than the risky abrupt policies being thrown around. Our fight for the British people transcends economic class, regionalism, creed, or religion, and we are proud to be the banner for all people. Never before has a party fought so hard for the rights of women, helped improve our police force, stand by the rights of our workers, and still keep a level-headed stance on the economy to ensure prosperity. Opponents have been quick to criticize the Liberal Party for our policies and stance in government, but the truth is groups like the Tories had a greater part of keeping Monaghan in government than we did. Ryley had an option to move a vote of no-confidence against the Labour government, while polls clearly showed that the people no longer held confidence in the Labour government, and he did not act. He had the option to end the Labour government when it became a minority government, and he did not act. Between the Opposition Leader’s inept skill at opposing Labour and his lack of presence on the campaign trail for his party, it’s safe to say that he is nothing short of a second T.R. Jacobs.
This, my friends, is why I implore you to vote your conscious. We have seen the results of Labour and the Tories in government, now it’s time for you to choose. It is time to look past the claims fabricated during this election campaign and time to vote who you believe is best to run the country. The future of this country will look back on this consequential election as truly important in British history, thus is it important to vote in what you believe. We have the option on Election Day to make a new, better tomorrow for ourselves and our children. And on that day, we hope to have a government with progress as the main focus. We hope to have a government that will not only rebuild our nation’s economy, but excel it to improved levels of efficiency with our potential. We hope to have a government that has the principle to truly stand by and represent all British citizens. So please, vote with your mind and heart on Polling Day.”
