Response to Tory Lib Dem Coalition

To: Scottish press

Dear Editor,

Liberals and Liberal and Radical Associations have always been locked in
battle with a Tory Party representing privilege, wealth and elitist
authority - since before 1857 and the formation of The National Liberal
Federation.

For Clegg to turn his back on a progressive coalition to join a Tory
Coalition is an unprincipled betrayal of everything for which Liberals
have ever stood in favour of naked political opportunism.

I urge every Liberal and radical still left in the Liberal Democrats to
resign to rejoin the Liberal Party.

It is the right and duty of every Liberal to campaign with us for a more
equal and democratic society which is against everything for which the
Tory Party stands.

John Hein
Liberal Party National Executive
