Transcript

00:00Here from James Moore. Hi I'm James Moore, I'm your Liberal Democrat candidate at this election

00:06and first of all thank you, thank you for coming to this Hustings rather than watching the football

00:10I know some of you might prefer to be elsewhere but thank you anyway and thank you for the wonderful

00:15support that we've had not just during this election also last year in the last couple of

00:19years you know you might know there's been an incredible Liberal revival in this area in recent

00:25years we've now in a position where we actually run the local council it was unthinkable a few

00:29years ago and we've went across the whole area of the constituency from Houghton, from Thurnley,

00:34through Oakham, from Uppingham, through Stamford, we have councillors across the area and we're in

00:38a very strong position now to win we believe the parliamentary seat this time. I want to be a

00:44strong independent voice, I want to be a voice that doesn't just simply go along with the crowd

00:48go along with what the government tells me. I think we've seen what's happened in recent years

00:52haven't we? We've seen the chaos of the list trust budget, we've seen the chaos associated

00:58with Boris's law breaking, we've seen the chaos now actually the government's apparently

01:04bested on its own demise incredibly. I think we need to change and in this area voting Liberal

01:09Democrat is not only a way to get a change but it's to get someone who's on your side who's

01:14really fighting for you not simply in the pockets of the whips, not climbing the greasy ladder,

01:19you don't join the Liberal Democrats to climb the greasy ladder do you let's face it

01:22you join the Liberal Democrats because you're passionate and committed to your community

01:26and that's what I am and that's why I hope you'll support me come July 4th.
