Europe 2009: Stronger Together Poorer Apart

Originally published by UK Liberal Democrats

Times are tough in Britain. The recession is hitting people and families hard: tens of thousands losing their jobs, businesses going to the wall, and every week hundreds losing their homes.

Labour's recession is hurting people badly. Unemployment is rising every day People are worried their businesses could go under Every week people are losing their homes Ministers are too busy fighting among themselves to govern properly

Nick Clegg said, "We can only protect British families from crime, the recession and climate change if our country works with other EU countries."

The Liberal Democrats will give people the help they need. We will cut income tax bills by £700 for the vast majority of people, and close loopholes exploited by the wealthy No one earning less than £10,000 will pay income tax at all 20 hours of free, quality childcare a week from 18 months to five years old

Nick Clegg said, "Only the Liberal Democrats know how to provide security, jobs, and a clean environment by leading in the European Union."

The European Parliament election is a big choice for Britain. Labour's arrogance has messed up Britain's relationship with other European countries The Conservatives and UKIP think that on its own Britain can face the economic storm, climate change, international crime, people-trafficking and terrorism

Liberal Democrats know effective cooperation creates prosperity - more than 3 million jobs in the UK depend on trade with other EU countries.

Liberal Democrats are working with our European neighbours to protect Britain and catch terrorists and criminals who operate across national borders.

Liberal Democrats know that countries have to work together to tackle climate change.
