With less than a month to go until the general election and postal voting starting next week I thought I would write a quick piece on why I’ll be voting Liberal Democrat on the 7th of May.
First of all I think the party shares my values more than any other. I care about public services, but I also care about taxes and being self-employed I don’t like overly burdensome regulation.
I care about both my security and my privacy and feel that I shouldn’t have to choose between one and the other.
I don’t want a party that favours privatisation so much that they are willing to sell assets or contracts on the cheap, or so against it that they are willing to run things inefficiently just so they can say they haven’t used any private firms.
Locally Liberal Democrats become embedded into their communities. Community politics is a fundamentally Liberal Democrat principle.
