Hello, we've got our first caller. You're name's Martin. Hello Martin.
You disagree with our statement policy.
Well Martin to tell you the truth I couldn't agree with you more. It's outrageous, disgusting
But unlike my colleague on my right, we're the party who say what we do, do what we say.
You can bank on us Mart!
Good evening, Shirley. I'm so glad that you've rung.
The matter is as dear to me as it is to you.
Give me four years and I'll get right down to it.
Because unlike my little balding colleague on my left, we don't make promises we can't keep.
You still there, Martin? Just one more thing. Give us your vote

You want houses? See me afterwards
Want my autograph? See my bodyguard
Pre-election budget handouts
You want a war? No problem!
Just give me your vote
Just give me your vote
