I was Labour’s candidate in the May 2010 elections for Eastcott.  During the the election I heard the Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg  and local LibDems attack secret Tory secret plans to increase VAT.   Even more recently Simon Hughes (LibDem MP) said “I hope we don’t have a VAT increase because it is the most regressive form of tax, it penalises the poor at the same rate as the richâ€.  I AGREE WITH SIMON.
- Backed early cuts to public spending when he had previously denounced them
- Cut loans to car manufacturers which would have supported Britain’s future industrial success and job growth
- Supported cuts to many frontline services – including hospitals, schools and police.
Do you feel let down by the Lib Dems?  Want to be part of a fairer Britain?  Join Britain’s only progressive alternative?

The above quote is from Simon Hughes on the Politics Show, 15th June 2010. NO wonder Kennedy looks uncomfortable below.
Stop press- latest YouGov poll shows that even amongst LibDem supporters the Government only has a 35% popularity rating – and falling.
