The Manifesto
Charles Kennedy, Liberal Democrat Leader, has launched the party's manifesto for the General Election. "It is a program based on dignity for older people, real opportunity for our children and a fair deal for families," said Charles. "I believe in a Britain that celebrates diversity and provides the opportunities for each individual to make the best of their talents."
Liberal Democrat priorities for the next parliament will be:
Ending unfairness in the NHS
Free personal care for the elderly
Lower class sizes
Ending student tuition fees across the UK
More police out on the beat
An end to the unfair Council Tax
Better pensions
Charles continued:
"The manifesto contains green policies in every area of government. Time is not on our side. The reality of climate change is with us here and now. It is wrong that this issue simply does not feature more prominently in the priorities of the Labour and Conservative parties.
"Many people will remember the principled and consistent Liberal Democrat opposition to the war in Iraq. Many people will remember that the Conservatives lined up with Tony Blair and George Bush. The Liberal Democrats have been the real opposition - representing the views of millions of our fellow citizens."
