I've just read comments made by the Labour, Lib Dem and Conservative PPCs in a 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 A:
"It's crazy that we're selling alcohol at pocket money prices because that actually means that you are going to end up with problems amongst some of the kids. Alcohol has been getting cheaper and cheaper relative to our incomes for many, many years. We've got supermarkets now acting so irresponsibly. They're selling alcohol below the cost even of the duty to get people in and that's just not right."
STATEMENT B:
"We certainly have a serious drink problem that's related to anti-social behaviour. What we want to do is tackle the drinks that are being bought in supermarkets and off-licences by young people, the super-strength cider and alcopops, and put more of a charge on them."
STATEMENT C:
"People need to take responsibility and cannot blame the government and society in general. They need to cut down on the amount of alcohol they have and people need to look after themselves better. The government can't do everything for them."
Updated: The answer is now in the comments section. Play fair and don't peek until after you've guessed.

I think C = Conservative and B = Labour, which means A = Lib Dem
Con, Lib, Lab. Ironic when Lab are supposed to be the nannies?
Con, lab, lib. I know I'm wrong. I was born wrong.
A. Labour
B. Conservative
