I want to continue the hard work of Liberal Democrats to reduce the deficit, invest in services and secure our future.

We've cut the deficit in half and we want to balance the budget by 2018. This will allow us to invest even more in housing, rail, schools and our NHS.

We've cut people's taxes by £825 a year in this Parliament. I want to reduce the tax-free allowance further to give people more of their own money back.

Liberal Democrats have shown that we can work with other parties to deliver sensible policies. We would stop the Tories cutting services to the bone and we would stop Labour spending more than we can afford. We have shown how politicians working together deliver strong, stable government.

 We have helped to deliver the country from the disastrous economic situation we faced in 2010.

 We have cut taxes for the least well off – against the objections of the Tories – taking millions out of tax altogether.

 We have invested in the NHS, in education and in rail and we can invest more with a balanced budget.

More Liberal Democrats in Parliament will secure moderate, sensible government for everyone.
