Ed Davey hit back at the growth of Reform as the third party in the UK as he blasted them as the alternative vote to Labour or the Tories.
He said: "The Lib Dems are the most powerful vote"
THE leader of the Liberal Democrats has refused to rule out joining Labour in a coalition government if the next general election results in a hung Parliament.
Sir Ed Davey said: “I announced today that we think the general election should be on 2 May and it couldn't come soon enough.
“We'll be tabling a bill in Parliament next week, which would give MPs the chance to call the general election rather than Rishi Sunak running away and hiding away. Let's have that general election now.
“People need that change. People are fed up with waiting. And I'm really, really pleased and proud that Liberal Democrats are ready for that election whenever it comes.”
Asked by Olivia Utley if the party could join Labour to form a coalition government, Sir Ed said: “I'm focused on the general election.
“There are many, many Conservative MPs that Liberal Democrats can defeat across the whole of the south of England, parts of London, parts of Manchester, parts of Yorkshire, in Scotland, in Wales.
“Liberal Democrats are really on the march, we've shown with our historic by-election victories and our amazing local election results across the country, that we are now an amazing campaigning force in British politics.”
He added: “I think when the election comes, we will be the surprise at the election.”He added: "If you want to beat the Tories, vote Lib Dem. Lib Dems are the way to unseat the Tories."
