"What is the most important change you hope to offer magical Britain?"
Lionel contemplated this question for a moment before answering. "One of the changes I would like to be able to create is better protection when it comes to those Beings such as vampires and werewolves. As well as protection for those afflicted." Personally, he would rather they not have to deal with them at all but they existed. "Often, the youngest of them cannot control themselves and have sadly added to the number of murder or assault victims found in Britain. Perhaps if better safeguards and protections were in place, these tragedies for both parties could be prevented." He knew not every vampire or werewolf gave a damn about what damage they caused living humans nor did Lionel really give much a damn about the non-human Beings. But he was tired as hell so many murders of magical citizens turning out to have been a vampire or werewolf attack. Attacks that could potentially be prevented.
"Mr. LIONEL LUPIN. What do you believe most distinguishes you as a candidate from Maxime, who works in the same department and announced his campaign prior to yours?"
Well, he was not French, for one. "I have a wealth more experience and was born and raised on British soil. Maxime is a brilliant young man but there is simply no getting around the fact that he is French. I do not believe that a man hailing from another country should represent magical Britain."
"Would you change or maintain the marriage ban between humans and non-humans?"
"For the most part, I would maintain it. It exists for a reason. However, I also feel that those children born of unions when it was still legal should not be treated as being illegitimate. I would seek to work alongside the Wizengamot to find a favorable middle ground on how to handle these now illegitimate marriages that had occured prior to the ban." Not that he really wanted humans and non-humans to marry one another but people had their weird preferences.
