Choose a different, better future

On June 4 you can choose a different, better future by voting for the Liberal Democrats.

Gordon Brown's Labour party is finished, and the Tories have no idea how to help people who are being hurt by the recession. Only the Liberal Democrats have plans to deliver practical solutions to help people.

  • We are getting things done locally here in Kent
  • Liberal Democrats now run some of the country's largest cities
  • We are providing real opposition in Parliament
  • Won the argument on the Ghurkhas,
  • Calling things right on the economy
  • Leading opposition to the Iraq war
  • And we are also helping ensure that Europe delivers real benefits for our country
  • More than 3 million jobs in the UK are dependent on trade with other EU countries. Liberal Democrats know that effective cooperation creates prosperity.
  • Liberal Democrats are working with our European neighbours to protect Britain and catch terrorists and criminals who operate across national borders.
  • Pollution and climate change have no respect for national borders. Countries have to work together to tackle climate change.

The local elections are an important opportunity for you to choose a council that:

  • Stands up for local people
  • Works hard to give local people the help they need
  • Actually listens to local people before taking action
  • Doesn't waste your money

The European Parliamentary elections aren't about abstract and boring stuff that have nothing to do with you. This is about you and me today.

  • If you want to protect your family from the effects from credit crunch.
  • If you want to protect your family from crime.
  • If you are worried about climate change.

Gordon Brown can't even make friends with his own cabinet let alone with people across the channel and David Cameron is not fit to govern, just ask Ken Clarke, he has been around for a while, he knows how to get the best out of Europe - even he doesn't agree with David Cameron.

No country can do that alone, we need to work together with others, the Liberal Democrats believe in working with our neighbours to make life better for people.

This is what makes the Liberal Democrats different

Vote Liberal Democrat and make a difference. in or leaves the EU

On June 4th, support the Liberal Democrats Choose a different, better future
