Elections that make a real difference don't happen very often - but this is one of them. On May 6th, you have a chance to change our country for the better. We've had 65 years of Labour and Tory ding-dong: the same two old parties taking turns and making the same mistakes, letting us down. They've taught us to expect little from politics and get less. It's time for something different.

Sir Menzies Campbell
Response to announcement that the Ministry of Defence will be responsible for the cost of replacing Trident - 30 July
"With most of their leadership contenders claiming to back AV for a fairer voting system, it is astonishing they now wish to block the legislation to make that happen. Each and every Labour MP campaigned on a manifesto committing to a referendum. Now they have the opportunity to make this happen but have chosen to say no for opposition's sake. "
Simon Hughes MP
Comment on Labour's decision to oppose legislation for a referendum on the alternative vote - 28 July
