Changing Britain for Good

"If you want things to be different, really different, choose the party that is different," said Nick Clegg, Leader of the Liberal Democrats.

Local Liberal Democrats have returned to Birmingham from Bournemouth after a successful party conference. "Only the Lib Dems can deliver real change," said Parliamentary Spokesman Dave Radcliffe. "People would not pay a single penny of tax on the first £10,000 they earn under a Lib Dem government. Millions of people will find themselves with an extra £700 in their pocket, and up to four million low earners and pensioners will pay no income tax at all."

Nick Clegg, Leader of the Liberal Democrats, said that he wanted to change Britain for good:

"I want to live in a country where prejudice, insularity and fear are conquered by the great British traditions of tolerance, pluralism and justice."

"That is the real change our country needs. And it is the real change that only our party can deliver. These are difficult times, but the blue-red, red-blue politics that got us in to this mess cannot get us out."

"On Wednesday I made a direct appeal in my keynote Conference speech to those who have not supported us in the past, asking them to join us in bringing a fresh start for Britain. If you didn't see my speech, then you can read it by following the link below."
