A Liberal Britain

What would a 'Liberal' Britain achieve?

Can we believe the words of Nick Clegg? He says:

(1) Putting British families back in control of their everyday lives will be at the heart of everything we stand for.

(2) In control of their time, not fighting to make space for family life between the demands of work and the burden of bills.

(3) In control of what their children are exposed to on TV, not constantly struggling to protect toddlers from the pressure of advertising.

(4) In control of their own privacy, not forced to submit personal information to a massive government identity database.

(5) Giving power and responsibility to families – of every shape and size, of every background – is the only way to make sure everyone has a fair chance in life.

(6) I will not tolerate a country in which the poorest people die 13 years sooner than the richest, lone parent families are twice as likely to get attacked or burgled, and the poorest pupils are twice as likely to fail their GCSEs.
