Ten Key reasons to vote Liberal Democrat

Steve Sollitt, Liberal Democrat Parliamentary Spokesperson for Southampton Test has welcomed the Liberal Democrat "ten key reasons" for voting for a real change.

"People across Southampton have told me how they are fed up with Labour who they feel have lost their way. They also feel the Tories have not been an effective opposition to the Government and that the Liberal Democrats are the only real alternative"

Ten reason to Vote Liberal Democrats

1) Put patients first - free doctors and nurses from Whitehall meddling.

2) Free personal care when you need it - no one forced to sell their home to pay for care.

3) No tuition fees, no top-up fees - university affordable for every student.

4) More investment in children's early years - spend the £1 billion Child Trust Fund money

when it matters most.

5) 10,000 more police on the streets - cutting crime and the fear of crime.

6) £25 more on the pension every week at 75 - a million pensioners off means-testing.

7) Free off-peak local transport - for all pensioners and disabled people.

8) Axe the Council Tax - Local Income Tax is both fair and affordable.

9) We should not have gone to war in Iraq - it's time to restore trust in the Government.

10) Take the environment seriously - cut pollution, cut congestion, and boost renewable energy.
