If you want things to be different, really different, choose the party that is different - the Liberal Democrats. There is hope for a different future, a different way of doing things in Britain, if we're brave enough to make a fresh start. Change for real, change for good.
Welcome to Congleton Liberal Democrats
-
We are the only party who will put money into people's pockets
with fair tax cuts, the only party to offer universal childcare and
smaller classes in our primary schools, the only party who would
use Gordon Brown's wasted billions to create thousands of jobs
today by investing in homes, hospitals, schools and public
transport to build the green economy of tomorrow, the only party
that will rebuild the jobs, homes and hopes this recession has
destroyed.
Peter Hirst and Nick Clegg

Sir Menzies Campbell
Response to announcement that the Ministry of Defence will be responsible for the cost of replacing Trident - 30 July
"With most of their leadership contenders claiming to back AV for a fairer voting system, it is astonishing they now wish to block the legislation to make that happen. Each and every Labour MP campaigned on a manifesto committing to a referendum. Now they have the opportunity to make this happen but have chosen to say no for opposition's sake. "
Simon Hughes MP
Comment on Labour's decision to oppose legislation for a referendum on the alternative vote - 28 July
