The Liberal Democrats have ensured that the country has had a stable government during very difficult financial times. Difficult decisions have had to be made in order to balance the country’s finances and the Liberal Democrats have ensured that the decisions made have been fair decisions.
We can’t however say that at this time we are all in it together when the mega rich get richer and the poorest in society get left behind.
Our society needs to ensure opportunity for all not just the few.’
