Do you agree with the abolition of the 10p rate of income tax? Liberal Democrats - 11th Jul, 2008 The Government can try and dress this tax rise up as much as it wants. However, the fact remains that millions of low paid people are now paying more tax. The abolition of the 10p rate is clear evidence that the Prime Minster has lost all touch with ordinary people. Cuts in the basic rate of tax are welcome but this cannot be at the expense of those on very low incomes. - Vince Cable Liberal Democrat Shadow Chancellor.  You voted against this Answer

Liberal Democrats - 14th Jul, 2008 Many students are now graduating with well over £15,000 debts. These huge debts discourage young people from choosing university, especially those from poorer backgrounds. We believe university education should be based on the ability to learn not the ability to pay. We would scrap student top-up fees and tuition fees. The Liberal Democrats don’t just oppose top up and student tuition fees because we disagree with the policy. All of society benefits from a well educated and skilled workforce – from a state trained plumber to a state educated brain surgeon. But fees and the huge debts that they result in will put young people off going to university especially those from low-income families. You voted against this Answer
