00:00Two years ago we said we need to beat some Conservatives, we need to get them

00:05out of government. Did we do that? How many did we beat? It was 60!

00:13So thank you all for all that but now we've got bigger targets to go for, haven't

00:19we? Doesn't the country need us? We're determined to be that party of decent

00:26caring Britain. The vast majority of people who want a decent caring party,

00:32they're going to take this government on and hold them to account for what they've

00:36done to pensioners, to disabled, to farmers, to businesses. We're going to be that

00:41party but we're also going to stand up to the divisive politics of Nigel Farage.

00:47I won't be only the Liberal Democrats offering a positive change, a change true to

00:52British values. Whereas I'm afraid the other old parties are incapable of doing

00:57that, it's up to us to take on the divisive garage. We'll do that but we'll offer

01:02something much much better. A great Liberal Democrat set of ideas on health

01:07and care, the cost of living, the environment, on Europe and so many other

01:11things we're going to debate this weekend and next week. So thank you very much for

01:15coming. It's been going to be a great, great time. Thank you.
