Chris Huhne says people will be “wary” of Cameron and his party
Liberal Democrat Shadow Home Secretary, Chris Huhne said David Cameron’s description of himself as a “salesman” at today’s Conservative spring conference would make people feel uneasy.
Chris Huhne said:
“If you turn up on someone’s door and try and sell them double glazing people are often wary,”
“Does he really promise anything other than changing the people in the government?”
He said that people were looking for “real change in the political system” in this election.
Mr Huhne also said that “the real failing” of Mr Cameron’s speech was the lack of an assurance of fairness, the key aspect upon which the Liberal Democrats are fighting their election campaign.
Commenting on the latest poll results which increase the possibility of a hung Parliament, Mr Huhne said that if that happened his party would not seek to take advantage of it.
“The key thing is not what we can gain from it, the key thing is what is best for the country,” he said.
“People don’t want to see politicians squabbling.”
“We are not the kingmakers, the people are the kingmakers,”
