Thousands of Lib Dems are choosing the Conservative Party

We have a very simple message for Liberal Democrat voters this week: the Conservative Party is the only party that can bring the change we need.

Of course, we are not expecting them to become card carrying members of the Conservative Party overnight.

Instead, we are asking them to help form a progressive alliance to get rid of this failed Labour Government.

An alliance built on our shared aims of personal freedom, a commitment to the environment, and a desire to protect the most vulnerable at home and in the rest of our world.

Eric Pickles gave a speech on Friday setting out why he believes Lib Dem voters should lend us their vote - you can read the full speech here.

Attending the speech were a number of senior Liberal Democrats who have decided to join us in our movement for change. And in the exclusive video above, you can see David Cameron talking to them about why they did so.
