competition time again

More comments made by Labour, Lib Dem and Conservative PPCs in another discussion about links between alcohol and crime. Can you spot which party each candidate belongs to purely from their comments (and without the aid of google search)?

STATEMENT 1
"One thing is looking to minimum pricing of alcohol and tying it as a condition into liquor licences. So if an establishment was shown to be selling alcohol at an irresponsibly low price then they would have their licence either withdrawn or tightened up."

STATEMENT 2
We need to give police and local councils the power to deal with drinking appropriately. Banning orders need to be used more effectively and make sure the priorities of the local council are the ones of the local people, so that where there is a problem the powers can be used appropriately."

STATEMENT 3
"We have to deal with the 24-hour drinking which turned out to be a complete disaster. We also have to stop young people from accessing alcohol by coming down heavily on those outlets selling them and stopping supermarkets selling alcohol as a loss-leader."


Answers and a link will be in the comments tomorrow morning.

In order the statements were made by Anna Pascoe, the Liberal Democrat Party candidate, Labour candidate Luke Pollard, and Conservative candidate Gary Streeter in a debate held in the Devon South West constituency

Not quite the gobsmacked moment that I got from the previous set of quotes......
