Citizen Lembit launches campaign video

By Adam Bienkov 11:49 AM

They may be in government with the Etonians nationally but here in London the Lib Dem’s frontrunner for London Mayor is a real man of the people.

Or at least that’s what Lembit Öpik’s new campaign video would have you believe:

Citizen Lem from Mancha Productions on Vimeo.

The video is a parody of the opening sequence to BBC sitcom Citizen Smith.

The Lib Dems were set to begin their selection process last year but delayed it for up to a year due to a shortage of credible candidates.

Apparently the party executive were worried that Lembit would “become the story” if selected, and so are holding out for a better candidate.

Although after seeing Citizen Lembit in action I really can’t understand why.
