In May 2010 we asked you to vote for us. We told you what our priorities for government were, and we will keep you updated on how we are progressing towards these:
4 steps to a fairer Britain
Our First Priorities
Fair taxes: that put money back in your pocket
- The first £ 10,000 you earn tax-free: a tax cut of £ 700 for most people
- 3.6 million low earners and pensioners freed from income tax completely
- Paid for in full by closing loopholes that unfairly benefit the wealthy and polluters
A fair chance for every child
- Ensure children get the individual attention they need by cutting class sizes
- Made possible by investing £ 2.5 billion in schools targeted to help struggling pupils
- Give schools freedom to make the right choices for their pupils
A fair future: Creating jobs by making Britain greener
- Break up banks and get them lending again to protect real businesses
- Honesty about the tough choices needed to cut the deficit
- Green growth and jobs that last by investing in infrastructure
A fair deal: By cleaning up politics
- Put trust back into politics by giving you the right to sack corrupt MPs
- Restore and protect hard-won British civil liberties with a Freedom Bill
- Overhaul Westminster completely: fair votes, an elected House of Lords, all politicians to pay full British taxes
