LIBERTARIANS SUPPORT DAVIS
The Libertarian Party invites David Davis to “Join Us”
The UK Libertarian Party has extended an invitation to David Davis to
join them, after the Shadow Home Secretary resigned as an MP over the
42 day detention law.
The party's Director of Communications, Chris Mounsey, said, “The
Libertarian Party applauds David Davis' principled stand over this
deeply illiberal measure.
“The Libertarian Party is the only UK political party which prioritises freedom and civil liberties above all else.
“As such, we feel sure that Mr Davis would be right at home in the Libertarian Party and invite him to join us.”
Patrick Vessey, Leader of the Libertarian Party, echoed his colleague's sentiments:
“In this day and age, with spin and political corruption so commonplace
that it's taken for granted that all Members of Parliament are simply
in the job for what they can personally extract from the taxpayer, a
man of rare integrity has reminded us all of the long democratic
tradition in our nation.
“The Libertarian Party will not be standing against Mr Davis in the
coming by-election, and will rather offer our total support to Mr
Davis' campaign, whether he stands as a Conservative or Independent
candidate.”
Mr Vessey concluded: “Should Mr Davis find that the party of which he
is currently a member does not share his grave and quite justified
concerns about the continuing erosion of our precious civil liberties,
he would be welcome to join the only British political party for which
these issues are a matter of core principle, rather than purely the
stuff of sound-bites.”
