What do the Liberal Democrats stand for? | | At Autumn Conference in Bournemouth, our party members approved our pre-manifesto, ‘For a Fair Deal’, which sets out the basis for our ambitious plans to be put forward at the General Election.
Now more than ever, people deserve a fair deal.
A fair deal that gives everyone opportunity, puts power in your hands, and holds the powerful to account. That is the fair deal the Liberal Democrats are fighting for.
But what does that look like?
Over the next couple of months, we’ll be sharing a series of emails which will break down the pre-manifesto for you – giving you a look at the fair deal we are fighting for in each policy area.
We hope you’ll find it useful. | |
Why do we need a Fair Deal? | | For over 150 years, we’ve led the charge for a fair, free and open society.
We introduced the state pension and free school meals, laid the foundations of the welfare state and the National Health Service, and legalised same-sex marriage.
But the Conservatives have broken the social contract - or fair deal - between people and government. They’re letting us all down and taking everyone for granted.
This must change.
In short, we’re fighting for a fair deal that will deliver: | |
1. A fair, prosperous and innovative economy that promotes opportunity and well-being:
We will build a dynamic economy that prioritises people. We'll invest in education, training, and promote flexible work, embrace technology, and transition to a green economy with renewable energy and home insulation.
2. Fair access to good public services and a strong social safety net:
We will ensure fair access to quality public services and a robust social safety net. We’ll deliver world-class education, care for pensioners, support for struggling families, and a revitalised NHS.
3. A flourishing environment, with fair access to nature for all:
We will foster a green and sustainable environment. We'll reshape farming practices, combat air and water pollution, and ensure everyone can enjoy the wonders of nature.
4. A strong United Kingdom and a fair international order:
We will strengthen the UK's global presence by championing democracy and human rights and fixing our broken relationship with Europe.
5. A truly fair democracy, where everyone’s rights are respected and individuals and communities are empowered:
We will transform British politics to make it more relevant and responsive to people’s needs. We’ll redistribute power to communities and introduce proportional representation. | |
