WHAT WOULD THEY HAVE DONE WITHOUT US??

There are two reasons for the Liberal Democrats being in government - one is to get Liberal Democrats policies put into action, the other is to stop Tory policies. With less than one in ten MPs in Parliament being Lib Dem, both lists are impressively long given that basic Parliamentary reality.

I've written before about what the Lib Dems have done, so this time here's a list of extreme Tory policies stopped:


  • Inheritance tax cuts for millionaires

  • Scrapping help with housing costs for young people

  • Weakening arrest warrants for people who have fled overseas

  • Firing workers at will, without any reasons given

  • Regional pay penalising public sector workers outside London and the South East

  • The Snoopers' Charter

  • Bringing back the old O-level / CSE divide

  • Profit-making in state schools

  • Cutting the time childminders can give to each child

  • Cutting new nursery buildings

  • Stopping geography teachers telling children about how we can tackle climate change

  • Axing human rights from national curriculum

  • Repealing the Human Rights Act

  • Weakening the protections in the Equalities Act

  • Renewing Trident in this Parliament

  • Scrapping Natural England

  • Cutting investment in green energy

  • Nation-wide immigration checks on all new tenants and lodgersAs for what the Liberal Democrats have positively achieved, take a look at our national website www.libdems.org.uk if you support our policies, why not join us and help us to stay in Government?

  • BUT without Liberal Democrats in Government after May 2015, all these policies are likely to find their way into legislation. We have never been so much needed as now.
