Local Elections - a choice between fashion and principle - Campbell

April 26, 2007 4:00 PM

Addressing party workers at the Liberal Democrats' Cowley Street HQ today, Liberal Democrat Leader Ming Campbell said that May's local elections represent a choice between fashion and principle.

Sir Ming said "Tony Blair pioneered the politics of fashion. But David Cameron has become its most loyal disciple. Well I am not in that game. Fashions come and go, but principles endure. Standing by your principles means speaking up for them when they are not fashionable. It means years of fighting for the environment, for gay rights, and civil liberties - not just when they are popular and the argument is won, but also when they are unpopular and the terrain is hostile. That is what Liberal Democrats stand for."
