The Liberal Democrats

W e may be small,  but our voice is **strong** enough to make a difference. We will continue to **poke** at the government. We lean more towards **equality** than freedom. We have a goal: to create a “ **fair, free, and open** society” where “no one shall be enslaved by poverty, ignorance or conformity.” We, unlike the Labour and the Conservative parties, have made a commitment to ** equality.

Economy

 Attack Gordon Brown—it’s time to answer some criticism from the left, Gordon Brown! Brown’s complacency has led us to this financial situation. We push for a larger role for the government in regulation economy—leans more towards collective equality

The struggles of the people: debts, high food and energy bills, unaffordable mortgages

Our plan: cut taxes from people from the bottom up. “As Liberal Democrats we want to radically rebalance the tax system, cutting taxes for people on low and middle incomes which we will pay for by cutting reliefs and closing tax loopholes that benefit the wealthiest.”

It’s time to tackle the rich and the big businesses that don’t pay their fair share!

It’s time to reform of the Bank of England and our tax system: “As Liberal Democrats we will also rebalance the tax system cutting taxes for people on low and middle incomes which we will pay for by cutting reliefs and closing tax loopholes that benefit the wealthiest.”

It's time to use the tax system to redistribute wealth.

**   ** European Union: ** Globalization is a challenge for every country, especially in terms of terror and climate change.

If we are to participate effectively in the global community, we MUST participate in the E.U.

A Conservative approach like David Cameron's will leave Britain isolated. We do NOT want to revert back to our old ways where Britain was to itself.

We are must stronger if we become involved instead of standing on the sidelines˜our voices must be heard!

Security comes first to the Liberal Democrats and it is in our national interest to become involved with foreign allies.

** Devolution **** : **  We support offering powers to Scotland and Wales. We want to create flexible, peaceful arrangement for the UK. To achieve this we need: Parliamentary reform to create greater collaboration among parliaments and A shared system of responsibility and control to develop greater understanding among parliaments.
