At the town-square in Bude, Scarlet Browne appeared in front of a small crowd to give a speech.
“Well well, it seems our constituency has gotten a visit in the last few days by a certain candidate from Hampstead to inform us on about the ongoings of this election. It does warm my heart that Labourites care so much about their duopoly that they would attack us, the party most able to oppose the Tories in the next parliament, and let Ryley stroll into government. But, for those of your who did hear what he had to say, allow me to straighten the record. Firstly, the idea that my party had held the government ransom over the last one, three, or even five years is just absurd. If Labour or the Tories aren’t popular enough to support themselves as a government, then that is just tough luck. Public support is not just a one time deal, as we acknowledge that a government remain appealing to the people seven days a week. Furthermore, while the Hampstead candidate falsely accused my party of partaking in a coalition with Labour, he is wrong as we Liberals agreed to a limited supply and confidence through negotiations. Needless to say, they lost our confidence and therefore our supply. Now, if the Hampstead candidate believes that Labour still has a mandate, in this day and age, may someone show him the newest national poll?
The crowd laughs at the last phrase from Browne’s address.
But, if the Hampstead candidate wishes to make the claim that we Liberals are unfit, unqualified, and unable to govern Britain, I’m obliged to point out that the Liberal Party has been in Downing Street since his ancestors were born. Our party have achieved victories beyond colonial freedom and devolution, including government reform, Lords’ reform, police reform, and not to mention the repeal of the most economically devastating act since the Corn Laws.
Applause erupts from the crowd as men and women cheer.
But it’s not the just the ordinary Labour MPs that are making erroneous claims, as the Foreign Secretary recently attacked the Liberal Party on the grounds that Liberals support reforms that are ‘unnecessary’. I must ask, the Foreign Secretary, is Lords’ Reform unnecessary while it was his own party that fostered the bill? Of course, being the same man who surrendered Cyprus and South Yemen, it doesn’t surprising me that he and his party would claim that we hold policies of Labour, yet also claim that we are essentially Tories with ‘crazy ideas’. This coming from the ‘party of ideas”, it doesn’t shock we that they are using every crooked trick in the book in order to attempt a victory. Of course, to top that off, Labour claims that we are the equivalent ‘government on the other side of the Iron Curtain’. This is Labour double-talk at it’s finest when they cannot even make up their mind on a coherent attack on the Liberal Party.
We Liberals have simply taken the measure to ensure the well-being of all people, and not pandering to interest groups. The Monaghan government may have had a mandate for a short time, but it lost it, fair and square through by-elections. If Labour politicians deems it unfair that the British people lost confidence in their government, then I suggest they find a different profession. Imagine, politicians who value the stability of government over the stability of the nation? This is why, folks, that we Liberals are different. We are willing to hold what’s right and just above politics in order to improve the lives of people, not our careers. In conclusion, while I admire the Hampstead candidate’s will to help out here in North Cornwall, but given their performance in the last few elections here in this constituency, I’d imagine the party is rather extinct nowadays as it is becoming across Britain. Still, if they expect to win here, I believe they have a gross overconfidence this election alongside their out-of-touch relationship with the people. So please, look back the fictitious rhetoric of Labour and support a responsible choice for government. Vote your conscious this Polling Day. Vote Liberal!"
