MEETING THE CHALLENGE
A MESSAGE TO THE LIB.DEM.CONFERENCE
from Liberal Democrat Leader CHARLES KENNEDY MP
"This year has been remarkable. We saw the most successful general election result in the Liberal tradition of British parliamentary politics in over 80 years. Over a million more votes compared with 2001, and despite the corrupt first-past-the-post voting system, 62 seats in the House of Commons.
Three-party politics is now firmly entrenched, with a narrower spread of votes between the three main parties than at any time since 1929.
We Liberal Democrats should be a force for radical thought in touch with today's needs and willing to look ahead to the demands of tomorrow."
