Another Reason For Being A Liberal Democrat

Julia Cambridge has become the new Liberal Democrat prospective candidate for Chesterfield. She wowed party members in the hustings, in particular with her great explanation of why she is a Liberal Democrat.

She told a story of being frightened of the dark during the power cuts caused by the early ’70s miners’ strike, and her sister getting scorched on a candle. She asked her parents why they were sitting in the dark. “The government”, said one. “The unions”, said the other. “I think I decided then and there to be a Liberal Democrat”, said Julia Cambridge.
