Liberal Democrat candidate for Cheshire and Manchester South, u/FarTooMuchPressure, has launched his campaign at local community hall, Old Town Hall in Widnes, with party and community members alike showing up to listen
— Old Town Hall, Widnes
“Meowdy folks, thank you dearly for joining me here today, here at the start of our movement, our united vision, our collective hope to create the biggest upset in this election. We have been written off, we have been cast aside, we have been ignored, and yet now we are in the prime position to create history. The voice of Liberalism, of global cooperation and of decency has risen, and we have surged across the United Kingdom as the polls have grown closer. From averaging less than 6% in the polls only 9 months ago, to now exceeding that by more than 10% is an incredible feat! We thank you, the people, those who stood with us this entire time, and those who are joining us for the first time this election. Every single step in this campaign has shown, we as Liberal Democrats are not in this to send just a message, this time we are here to win.”
\Cheers from the crowd**
“For the first time in a decade, we are fielding the most candidates out of any party, with the largest movement established in many, many elections. The tired status quo parties of government have grown complacent, and expect the collapse of the Conservatives to sweep them into another term of government. To this, I say no! Britain must move to the centre, to put the Liberal in liberal democracy, and to bring about the benefits of a united pro-worker and pro-business vision for this nation. For too long our great country has seen the same old mistakes, the same old ideas and the same old parties. We should not restrict ourselves to the ideological nature of Solidarity, for our place in the world belongs internationally embracing liberal internationalism and its principles, advocating a true global Britain as set out under the Phoenix government. It is through Liberalism and global cooperation that we will be able to create the economic and jobs boom that our country desperately needs, unlocking the potential of every person within our great nation. This lovely town of Widnes has its historic culture and roots in industrial development and activity. A town that saw vast expansion under the industrial revolution to be a leader in regional industry and drawing in waves of skilled labor. The ideological inwardness and borderline protectionism of the other parties is incompatible with this legacy and stifles the progress of further economic opportunities. This is why embracing liberalism is key in this election to unleash a new wave of growth and development. In directly helping the industries of places like Widnes it is why we in the Liberal Democrat’s are committed to delivering bold new economic partnerships and trade agreements. Opening up new global markets and trade partners for the local businesses and communities that rely on their industries. Our embracing of a global Britain to unlock new opportunities does not stop there. The Liberal Democrats further will commit to establishing a new global talent scheme to attract and retain the skills and workers we need to keep our industries and local businesses competitive. With new pools of labour supply, it allows greater expansion and growth, as investment increases.”
“This election, we must all reflect, and we must all make decisions that we thought we would never make. It was only recently that I realised that our nation was on the wrong track, that a true alternative was needed, and that the United Kingdom needed a return to sensible government. Where politicians are making abstract promises from the absences in their governance, despite being in power on and off for the past three years, we must come together to unite behind candidates and policies that will deliver real and meaningful change. Unlike the other parties, we understand the challenges our economy faces structurally and the place it must have in the world. Local communities have been neglected from key investment and attention. The country is deteriorating as Governments prioritise dogma over progress. This cannot and should not continue. The Liberal Democrats stand ready and eager to serve, and through our strong economic plan, we will restore the economic prosperity that has dwindled under three long years of Solidarity in government.”
“If we want to achieve this, if we want to see real change, then the only vote to achieve this is to vote Liberal Democrat. For a stronger economy, for better and more efficient services, for sensible politics, we are the party and movement that can bring forward a new era for our nation. We stand strong on a platform of dynamic and innovative change, seeking a better and brighter future that works to build each and every single person's potential. Here in Widnes, Chesire, we could be the very point that sees this government removed for good, which is why we are seeing the government pour electoral resources to try and hold us back. Join us, stand with us, campaign with us, and we can make this country better for all. So make the right choice, embrace innovation, to empower change.”
\The crowd cheers again**
“With formalities out of the way, I wish to show you an exclusive preview of our latest campaign ad, as part of our wider movement to see the orange wave sweep across Britain. Thank you all!”
