If you are reading this then you are either really interested in what Liberal Democrats have to say or you are from our opposition, wondering what’s going on and looking for tips; either way, I welcome you
Since last Thursday, this election has come alive.
But no one can predict what’s going to happen in the remaining 16 days until the election. But what I can confirm is that we are working as hard as possible to deliver a different kind of politics.
But it isn’t just the other parties we are fighting against. We’re taking on a political system that’s designed to prop up the two old parties. We’re fighting against big business, the unions, the media and the status quo and all these will fiercely resist the change that the electorate is daring to believe in.
Many of us feel that we have been let down by Labour for the last 13 years. Others remember 18 years of the Conservatives and genuinely fear the prospect of returning to Tory rule.
In reality, we’ve had 65 years of both Governments taking it in turns to make the same old mistakes over and over again.
Voters have a dilemma – who to choose to keep the other one out!
But this election is different.
We no longer have to hold our nose and vote for a Party that we’ve clearly out grown. We no longer have to compromise and vote AGAINST something because the other one is worse.
No! This time we have an opportunity to vote positively for something.
It’s clear that we all want something different. But the problem is, what?
On offer is a false kind of change offered by Labour and the Conservatives or Real Change by voting for the Liberal Democrats.
THE LIBERAL DEMOCRATS have 4 steps to create a fairer Britain:
Fair taxes that put money back in your pocket
A fair future creating jobs by making Britain greener
We’ll deliver a fair chance for every child
And there’ll be a fair deal to clean up politics.
Our policies are fully costed and have been in the public domain for nearly two years where they’ve been scrutinized in depth. These detailed plans support the vision that was so eloquently expressed by Nick Clegg recently.
I am extremely optimistic about the future. Yes, times will be tough but every day we’ll be getting stronger in the knowledge that we are building something better for tomorrow.
If we work together we can succeed and make Britain a fairer, stronger and a more sustainable place.
My hope is that you, like me, will never want to look back.
