Speaking earlier this afternoon on the BBC News following the Tory Leaders’ speech the Liberal Democrat Shadow Home Secretary, Chris Huhnesaid: David Cameron’s description of himself as a “salesman” at the Tory spring conference today would make people feel “wary.”
“If you turn up on someone’s door and try and sell them double glazing people are often wary,” he said.
“Does he really promise anything other than changing the people in the government?” Chris Huhne asked.
Chris Huhne said that people were looking for “real change in the political system” in the upcoming election.
He also said thought 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 prospect of a Hung Parliament following the dramatic narrowing of the opinion polls in recent weeks; Chris Huhne said: that in the event his party would not seek to capitalise on 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,” Chris Huhne added.
