The Liberal Democrat Manifesto 1997In this manifesto, we have set out a practical, forward-looking programme to modernise Britain. Its central theme is the widening of opportunities. And its aim is to make Britain a nation of self-reliant individuals, living in strong communities, backed by an enabling government.
We do not duck the choices that have to be faced in this election.
And we do not pretend that they are easy - or free. High-quality education has to be paid for. As do decent public services and a more secure society.
You cannot, in the present climate, have these and tax cuts as well.
You have to choose.
We ask you to do so.
Your vote can make a real difference in turning our country away from short-term politics towards a more constructive long-term approach.
And with your support we believe we can make a difference too. Every vote we receive is a vote for better education, the modernisation of our politics, a cleaner environment, a better health service and more crime free communities.
Every vote we get and every seat we win will ensure that in the next Parliament, Britain, can at last face, up to the challenge, as we enter the next millennium. [an error occurred while processing this directive] |
