Davey: Forty-eight hours ‘til we have a “once-in-a-century election” that could lock this Conservative government out of power

EMBARGO: 22:30 Monday 1st July

Liberal Democrat Leader Ed Davey has called on voters to “vote for historic change” with the Liberal Democrats on Thursday in what promises to be a “once-in-a-century election.”

He urged people across the UK to send the Conservative government a clear message and end their era of scandal and neglect and “kick this Conservative government out of office for good.”

Davey, on an epic journey from John O’Groats to Land’s End, has toured from top to bottom of the mainland in recent days, including North Shropshire, Cheltenham and Wokingham, now heading to the party’s former heartlands in the West Country. 

In over 80 seats, the Lib Dems are in second place to the Conservatives, with Davey saying “people must vote Liberal Democrat if they want to kick this Conservative government out of office for good.”

Liberal Democrat Leader Ed Davey said: 

“On Thursday, millions of people have a chance to vote for historic change. This will be a once-in-a-century election. 

"From former Conservative heartlands like Tunbridge Wells to communities across the West Country such as St Ives and Yeovil, people must vote Liberal Democrat if they want to kick this Conservative government out of office for good.

“From Honiton to Harrogate, people are switching to the Liberal Democrats after years of failure and neglect under this Conservative government. 

“Every vote for the Liberal Democrats is a vote to beat Conservative MPs in scores of seats, save our NHS, end the sewage scandal and elect a strong local champion.”
