Real difference, real policies
August 10, 2009 5:00 PM
The following points are taken from a lengthy Financial Times editorial of 24th June.
- Of the big national parties, only the Lib Dems opposed the war in Iraq
- The Lib Dems have consistently opposed Labours attacks on our liberties
- Vince Cable is leading the debate on the country's financial crisis.
Whilst Tories & Labour waffle & slag each other off the Lib Dems put forward real policies including the bold decision not to support renewal of the UK's Trident nuclear deterrent. The FT says: "Offering clarity when others prefer obfuscation is a valuable public service. Even if the Lib Dems do not win, they flush out the inconsistencies of their opponents. In their eagerness to become one of Britain's governing parties, the Liberal Democrats must avoid becoming risk-averse. Their ultimate selling point is they are not like the other parties".
