This country needs a change, we have a failed Labour Government, and a failed Conservative opposition. Liberal Democrats have campaigned with strong green policies consistently for the last 10 years, whilst New Labour and Conservatives have not. Liberal Democrats voted against the Iraq war and ID Cards, whilst New Labour and Conservatives voted for them. Liberal Democrats have been warning about an impending debt crisis since before the last General Election, whilst New Labour did nothing and the Conservatives said nothing. If you want a party running things that makes the right decisions on the biggest issues that effect everyone in the country, then the Liberal Democrats are that party.
Kevin Barron Liberal Democrat Parliamentary Spokesman for the Wellingborough constituency would like to hear from you, the people he would like to represent. Online you can:

"How can you possibly take on such a large financial commitment as Trident without considering the military and political implications? If fierce cuts are to be made in Britain's conventional forces, surely we have to consider whether replacing Trident can be justified. "
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
"With more than half of ASBOs breached in 2008, this was a policy more about posturing than effective policing. Local communities know that other measures, such as Acceptable Behaviour Contracts can nip problems in the bud before they escalate. "
Co-Chair of the Liberal Democrat Parliamentary Committee for Home Affairs and Justice, Tom Brake MP
Commenting on speech by the Home Secretary in which she said it was 'time to move beyond Anti Social Behaviour Orders (ASBOs) - 28 July
