Many of the experienced, veteran British criminals I have interviewed recently for my books and TV documentaries are predicting a vast increase in burglaries, street robberies, muggings etc thanks to the so-called credit crunch. They believe that more and more street gangs will be formed as unemployment rises and that these gangs will inevitably travel outside their "home territory" to seek victims further afield. It is a chilling prophecy. What does your party intend to do to prevent what seems to be an inevitable escalation of the sort of crime that most of Middle England lives in fear of?

Does your party support the European Commission's proposals ordering Britain's sheep farmers to electronically tag and identify every single animal in the national flock?

Liberal Democrats - 18th Jun, 2009

“Compulsory sheep tagging will increase the input costs being placed on livestock producers, auction markets and abattoirs which could ruin the financial viability of the industry. The average wage for a sheep farmer is just £6,000 per year, which is as about as much as a tag reader is expected to cost. The UK is not alone in thinking that compulsory sheep tagging is both impractical and unworkable, but until recently the Government have been prepared to take the role of a backseat driver instead of leading the campaign for a voluntary system. I refuse to accept that this battle is lost, but it’s up to our Ministers to push for a voluntary system by taking a leading role in the campaign against compulsory sheep tagging. I’m hopeful that the coming meeting of ministers gives us a real chance to win this fight.” Tim Farron, Shadow Defra Secretary.

Does your party agree with the conservative's policy paper to increase localism?

Liberal Democrats - 18th Jun, 2009

“Rather than being radical, many of these proposals could have been copied straight from the Government’s agenda.The Tories only talk about localism when it suits them, and when they do they think it makes sense to force elected mayors on cities hand picked from Westminster. What this makes clear is that the Tories, like the Government, have no intention of reforming the grossly unfair Council Tax that they created. Rather than tinkering, the whole system should be scrapped and replaced with a fair tax based on the ability to pay.” Julia Goldsworthy , Shadow Communities and Local Government Secretary.
