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.

I am facing large student debts. How important are students to your party and what would you do about tuition fees?

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.

What is your stance on the privatization of the Royal Mail, partial? full? not at all?

Scottish National Party - 19th Dec, 2008

Whatever assurances are now being offered, privitisation or even part-privitisation will inevitably lead to a run down of the service and substantial job losses. This is not the way to guarantee a Royal Mail fit for the 21st Century. What is needed is a clear commitment that Royal Mail will receive the investment that it desperately needs.

The Home Secretary has asked Parliament to reclassify cannabis from a Class C to a Class B drug. Does your party support this reclassification and if so, why?

Liberal Democrats - 15th Oct, 2008

Liberal Democrat Shadow Home Secretary, Chris Huhne said: "Increasing penalties for possession will criminalise thousands of people, particularly young people, at a time when cannabis use is falling. Ministers should heed the advice of their own expert advisory council on drug misuse. Public education works better than flagellation."
