Now, this is change you can really believe in. Rejection of the bankrupt Tories and New Labour!

Only Lib Dems offer real change, says Nick Clegg

By Andrew Woodcock, Press Association

Tuesday, 20 April 2010

Liberal Democrats are now the only party offering "real change" in the General Election, the party's leader Nick Clegg claimed today.

His claim stepped up the party's tussle with the Conservatives for ownership of the "change" mantle in the campaign for the May 6 poll.

Tory leader David Cameron sought to fight back against the Lib Dem surge in the polls last night, with a hastily-rewritten election broadcast warning that only his party can deliver change and that a hung Parliament would leave Britain "stuck" with Gordon Brown.

But responding to Mr Cameron's intervention this morning, Mr Clegg said: "Over the last few weeks, he has changed his policies, he has changed his ad agency and last night he changed his election broadcast, but that doesn't mean he can change Britain.

"The only party that now stands up for real change in the old economic and political order of this country are the Liberal Democrats."

Mr Clegg used a press conference in London to set out his party's plans to reform the banks by splitting retail activities from risky "casino" banking.
