Liberal Democrats in Bury 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
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
Vic D’Albert, Bury South Parliamentary spokesperson said, “I am delighted to be able to back ‘Make it Happen’. It sets out how the Liberal Democrats will run Britain. “No resident of Bury 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 can help ordinary people through cutting taxes on those on low and middle incomes. Thousands of people in Bury will benefit from this.
“We are taking the plans in ‘Make it Happen’ to the people of Bury during the summer to get their response. And in September, we will be heading to the Liberal Democrats’ conference where we are looking forward to taking part in the debate.” ‘Make it Happen’ is available at: http://www.libdems.org.uk/media/documents/policies/Make%20it%20Happen.pdf
