Local Welcome for Liberal Democrat Vision for Britain….
……..Liberal Democrats in Mansfield have welcomed the launch of the Liberal Democrats’ vision for Britain by Party Leader Nick Clegg MP. Called ‘Make it Happen’, the paper will be debated at the party’s conference in Bournemouth in September.
In ‘Make it Happen’ the Liberal Democrats say:
- They will cut taxes for ordinary families
- If your local hospital can’t see you on time, they will pay for treatment elsewhere
- They will switch taxes from people to pollution - so it pays to go green
- To improve standards in education, they will fund extra help for those who need it most
- They will put Britain at the heart of Europe to make us a force for good in the world
- They will stop ID cards so we can keep control of our privacy
- They will change the voting system so everyone’s voice counts
- They will bring communities together with local people in charge
- They will give communities a say in how offenders pay for their crimes
No resident of Mansfield has escaped the rising cost of food and fuel. The credit crunch is biting hard and local people are feeling the pinch.
Nick Clegg has set out how we Liberal Democrats can help ordinary people through cutting the taxes of those on low and middle incomes. Thousands of people in Mansfield would benefit from this.
I am delighted to be able to back ‘Make it Happen’. It sets out how the Liberal Democrats will run Britain.
