Labour's recession is hurting people badly
· Unemployment is rising every day
· People are worried their businesses could go under
· Every week people are losing their homes
· Ministers too busy fighting amongst themselves to govern properly
The Liberal Democrats will give people the help they need
· We will cut income tax bills by £700 for the vast majority of people and close loopholes exploited by the rich
· No one earning less than £10,000 will pay income tax at all
· 20 hours of free, quality childcare a week from 18 months to five years old
For 30 years, Labour and before them the Conservatives were careless with Britain's economy
· Billions are being wasted on a VAT cut that is having no effect
· Labour has bailed out the banks but still can't get them lending
· Liberal Democrats will build a different kind of economy for the future - strong, stable and green.
This election is a big choice for Britain.
· Labour's incompetence has messed up Britain's relationship with other European countries
· The Conservatives and UKIP would rather make life harder for people in Britain than work with our European neighbours - even if that means criminals escaping justice and pollution spreading across Europe
· Conservatives and UKIP refuse to work with our European neighbours to tackle the economic storm, climate change, international crime, people-trafficking and terrorism
· The other parties are offering a choice between a Labour government with no hope and a Tory party with no ideas
This election is a chance to choose a different, better future
The European Union is our best option: Community in an unsafe world.
· 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 will work with our European neighbours to protect Britain and catch terrorists and criminals who operate across national borders.
· Pollution and climate change don't recognise national borders. Countries have to work together to tackle climate change.
And Liberal Democrats have helped achieve a wide range of benefits for ordinary people, including:
· Catching criminals and bringing them to justice - other countries now have to extradite swiftly suspects so that they can be put on trial here,
· Making people safer - banning toxic chemicals in everyday products that could have harmed people
· Saving you money - helping to cut the cost of phone calls both at home and on mobiles when we travel to different countries
Of course the EU needs to change.
· Of course there are things they should do less of - money is still wasted
. The EU should concentrate on big issues and interfere less with other things
. The EU should get off the backs of small businesses.
. We need less interference with our farmers
· The Liberal Democrats have argued for a referendum on whether Britain stays in or leaves the EU
