This election should be about positive ideas not about personal insults.
And about what kind of country we want.
The Liberal Democrats have been positive and set out real solutions to the problems people face.
Cast your vote to help the pensioners who worked hard, paid their taxes and are now struggling on poverty pensions, hit hard by the council tax, worrying about how to pay for help if they get ill.
Vote Liberal Democrat for an end to poverty pensions and an end to pensions discrimination against women.
Vote Liberal Democrat to provide free personal care for the elderly – just as we have provided in Scotland.
Vote Liberal Democrat to end the unfair Council Tax and replace it with fair local taxes based upon each person’s ability to pay.
Cast your vote for our young people – to provide them with real opportunities to make the best of their talents – to provide quality schools in every community.
Vote Liberal Democrats for 21,000 new primary school teachers to reduce class sizes so each child gets more attention in school.
Vote Liberal Democrat to reduce significantly the massive burden of debt on our young people as they start out in life – lets end university tuition fees so that education and progress is not based on how much you can afford to pay.
Vote Liberal Democrat to give teachers time to teach, and children time to learn, with a curriculum that rewards talent, not stifles it.
Cast your vote for a quality Health Service free at the point of delivery with well funded, well staffed local hospitals treating local people
Vote Liberal Democrat to free doctors and nurses from targets that just distort local priorities – let’s put patients first instead.
Vote Liberal Democrat to end the hidden waiting lists so that people find out quickly what is wrong with them and treatment can start as soon as possible.
Vote Liberal Democrat to encourage a healthy Britain, with free eye and dental tests and an extension of free prescriptions.
Cast your vote for policies on crime that are both tough and smart.
Vote Liberal Democrat for 10,000 more polices on the streets.
Vote Liberal Democrat to free police from paperwork.
Vote Liberal Democrat for an approach to anti-social behaviour and prison that actually works and doesn’t just create more victims.
Cast your vote for a real, serious approach to the environment.
Vote Liberal Democrat if you want a green Britain.
And cast your vote to restore Britain’s reputation on the international stage.
Vote Liberal Democrat if, like us, you say never again over Iraq.
At this election it is the Liberal Democrats who have set the pace.
The Conservative challenge has died out – they can’t win, and don’t deserve to win.
Labour are now running scared of the surge in support for the Liberal Democrats.
Over this parliament, the Liberal Democrats have proven that we can come from third place behind the Conservatives, to beat Labour in their back yard.
In Brent East – 1 in 4 voters switched to the Liberal Democrats, and the Liberal Democrats won.
In Leicester South - 1 in 5 voters switched to the Liberal Democrats and the Liberal Democrats won.
The Tories were relegated to a very poor third.
So let’s have none of this Blair nonsense.
He has cried wolf one to many times.
No-one believes his claims anymore.
That real alternative is the Liberal Democrats.
So if you value it, vote Liberal Democrat.
If you want to take a stand, vote Liberal Democrat.
For the real alternative, vote Liberal Democrat.
