What Are Your Main Policies?

I know what Liberal Democrats do locally, but what do you stand for at national level?
The key national issues for us are freedom, fairness and trust.
The most important issue facing the world is to save our environment from destruction so that all people are free to live productive lives. So we will cut pollution, cut congestion and boost renewable energy.

We can't have freedom in this country unless people are safe to live their lives. So we will put 10,000 more police officers on the street and take other steps to cut crime and fear of crime.
Conservatives and Labour have left us with a less fair Britain. So we will scrap tuition fees and top-up fees for students, replace the unfair council tax by a fairer local income tax, and ensure that pensioners and people who need care get a fair deal by introducing free personal care and giving all pensioners of 75 an extra £25 on their pension a week.

Lastly, we believe that after Labour took us to war in Iraq on the basis of weapons of mass destruction that didn't exist, it is vital that we now have a government which will be straight with the British public and a government you can trust.
