Election '97: QUOTES OF THE DAY
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.I think Christine Hamilton is my best campaign asset. I am used to be being ambushed in places like Biafra but never anything like that - Martin Bell
I am for Britain and I think we are giving too much away to Europe. For example, 80 per cent of the fish is ours - Baroness Thatcher
If and when he is shown to have misbehaved - but only if and when he is shown to have misbehaved - then he should face the House of Commons - John Major on Neil Hamilton
I'd do anything to get Major back . . . thinking back, things were going quite well . . . things were nice and calm - Repentant Labour "voters from the future", in the Conservative election broadcast
They put tax up almost straight after they got in, when they promised they wouldn't - A "voter from the future" on the Labour government
I think it is quite wrong. It's stupid and there is no necessity for it. Liberal Democrats should have the opportunity to vote for a Liberal Democrat candidate. We have denied them the right to do so. That is quite wrong and against the democratic principle - Sir Cyril Smith on the withdrawal of the Liberal Democrat candidate in Tatton
