TARGET HUHNE
The National Liberal Party (NLP) is aiming to unseat Eastleigh MP Chris Huhne in revenge for his reneging on the Liberal Democrat promise to support a referendum on the EU Constitution (Lisbon Treaty).
The National Liberal Party (who hark back to the Liberal Nationals of the 1930’s who split from the Liberals over protectionism) are putting up a candidate (Keith Low) at the forthcoming General Election.
The candidate Keith Low says “We want to punish Chris Huhne for his betrayal of the LD promise to support a referendum. Chris Huhne is known to be one of the most pro-EU MPs in Parliament. We will be urging Liberal voters to either vote for the National Liberals or anybody but Huhne!”.
NLP National Secretary David Durant said “For too long the Liberal voter has been only offered Liberal candidates that think patriotism is a dirty word. This wasn’t always so. The Liberal Nationals/National Liberals (1931-1968) were always concerned about threats to the nation whether it be from cheap imports or foreign dictators. Our aim is to offer that alternative to the voters of Eastleigh. If Chris Huhne becomes a casualty so be it!”.
An election address will be delivered to all households in Eastleigh. A copy of this (plus poster) will follow. A video in support of the campaign has been produced called ‘Target Huhne’ and is attached. This is about to be viralled across the Internet.
