The environment has always been a major concern for Liberal Democrats. We believe that there should be a green thread that goes through every area of Government policy starting with faster action on climate change, cutting traffic congestion and giving proper support to alternative fuels.
Yet none of Labours six pledges for this election announced in Tony Blair’s whistle stop tour of the country in February even mentioned the environment and Michael Howard’s I believe advert also did not mention the environment.
Our policies are focused on three main areas:
Tackle climate change
Cleaner transport and environment
Cleaner Power
David Goodall, Southampton Itchen’s parliamentary candidate says “It is essential for the future that this country has a government that is really prepared to take environmental action, like the Liberal Democrats are.”
