Top ten reasons to vote Liberal Democrat

12.00.00am GMT Mon 10th Jan 2005

* Put patients first - free doctors and nurses from Whitehall meddling. 

* Free personal care when you need it - no one forced to sell their home to pay for care.

* No tuition fees, no top-up fees - university affordable for every student. 

* More investment in children's early years - spend the £1 billion Child Trust Fund money when it matters most. 

* 10,000 more police on the streets - cutting crime and the fear of crime. 

* £25 more on the pension every week at 75 - a million pensioners off means-testing. 

* Free off-peak local transport - for all pensioners and disabled people. 

* Axe the Council Tax - Local Income Tax is both fair and affordable. 

* We should not have gone to war in Iraq - it's time to restore trust in the Government.

* Take the environment seriously - cut pollution, cut congestion, and boost renewable energy.
