Lib Dems are ready. All of the MRP polls say that we're sitting pretty on 72 seats and could gain handsomely from that, and we don't fear elections. We love them.

And if they did, I would find it deplorable, and I would absolutely condemn it to the rafters.

We will exact a high price on a vote by vote, issue by issue, budget by budget basis.
