We hope to eventually have all the manifestos in this section of our site to allow you time to read them and then decide who to vote for.
The Liberal Democrat manifesto includes these points :
Stopping Brexit and investing the £50 billion Remain Bonus in public services and tackling inequalities.
Tackling the climate emergency by generating 80% of our electricity from renewables by 2030
Building a fairer economy, transforming opportunities by providing free childcare from 9 months and giving every adult £10,000 to spend on skills & training throughout their lives
Giving every child the best start in life by recruiting 20,000 more teachers as part of an extra £10 billion a year for schools
Transforming our mental health services by treating mental health with the same urgency as physical health.
Adopting a public health approach to serious violence with investment in community policing and youth services.
Fixing the broken immigration system by scrapping the Conservatives’ hostile environment, ending indefinite detention and taking powers away from the Home Office.
Ahead of the manifesto launch on 20 November 2019, Leader of the Liberal Democrats, Jo Swinson, said:
“This manifesto is a bold plan to build a brighter future for our country, and that starts with stopping Brexit.
“Labour and the Conservatives can’t offer the country a brighter future because they both want Brexit. We know that will be bad for our economy, bad for our NHS and bad for our environment.
“Liberal Democrats will stop Brexit and invest in our mental health services, give free childcare to working parents, put 20,000 more teachers into classrooms and take ambitious action to tackle the climate emergency.
“Our politics has been dominated by the two, tired old parties for too long. This election provides an opportunity to change the future of our country and build a brighter future with the Liberal Democrats.”
