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.

| Quotes of the Week |

"Anyone who wants to pass laws in this country should pay this country's full taxes and not hide behind the special offshore status of non-doms. Non-doms have to tell the taxman that their first allegiance is to another country. No-one should be a British lawmaker whose first allegiance is not to Britain. "
Chris Huhne, Liberal Democrat Shadow Home Secretary

"I think people are entitled to expect a sensible, stable government at a time when the country is facing very, very acute choices. We take what the markets are worrying about immensely seriously. We will not take any risk with the creditworthiness of the economy. "
Nick Clegg, Leader of the Liberal Democrats
