Welcome to Nottingham Liberal Democrats
We're about Freedom, Fairness and Trust.
Free education and healthcare so that everyone is free to make the most of their lives. Fair taxes, because where necessary, taxes should help improve our environment or make life in Britain more fair, not less. And finally, Trust, because it is time to restore trust in government. Our manifesto is fully costed so we can tell you what you'll get and how we'll pay for it.
Our intention is that this website will be a useful resource for local people to find out more about the local Liberal Democrats and the campaigns we are running.
However, we would like it to be more than that - we would like to hear from you. Online you can:

Only the Lib Dems will make tax fairer for all
Sat 19th Dec 2009
The next General Election is now only months away... So what are the main parties saying about tax? The economy is in a dreadful state and we will need to repay the enormous borrowing at some point to balance the books. But many are worried that the Tories will use the state of the economy as an excuse to make big cuts - and leave poorer people worse off. Liberal Democrats believe that it is essential that our tax system is fair and seen to be fair.

"I hate to say it, but only one party leader seems to have grasped that, if you construct a system where unskilled people are worse off by taking a job than by staying on welfare, they remain trapped in poverty - and that is Nick Clegg. "
Lord Norman Tebbit
Daily Telegraph online - 13 Jan
"It's unbelievable that the Tories are still planning to cut taxes for a handful of millionaires when the majority of people across the country are feeling the squeeze. We need fair tax cuts that put money back in the pockets of ordinary people. The Tory sums simply do not stack up. It is irresponsible and highly misleading for George Osborne to continue to pretend that they do. "
Vince Cable MP
