THE DIFFERENCE.
"Jim Wallace and the Liberal Democrats in the Scottish Parliament have made a real difference for the people of Scotland."
Charles Kennedy
Your vote can make the difference...
For Scotland's Elderly
Thanks to the Liberal Democrats, Scotland's elderly no longer have to pay for their personal care. Under Labour in the rest of the UK they still do.
The new warm homes initiative and free off-peak travel are improving the lives of Scotland's pensioners.
For Scotland's Students
Liberal Democrats have scrapped tuition fees and restored grants for Scottish students studying in Scotland.
We will oppose any plans to introduce "top-up" fees being proposed by the Labour Government in Westminster.
In Tackling Crime
Jim Wallace has increased police numbers to record levels to tackle crime. Whilst others talk tough on crime, Scottish Liberal Democrats will take effective action that actually deal with the problem of crime in our communities.
Better Health for All
Liberal Democrats have insisted on the drive for health promotion. We have already started to introduce radical changes to keep Scots healthy and make sure people get treated more quickly. Liberal Democrats will abolish charges for eye and dental check-ups.
Protect the Environment, create jobs
With ambitious new targets for recycling and renewable energy set by the Liberal Democrats, Scotland is now working to become amongst the best in Europe.
Liberal Democrats will develop jobs in environmental industries like renewable energy, where Scotland can lead the world.
Better Schools
Liberal Democrats in Government in Scotland have guaranteed a nursery place for every 3 & 4 year old child, spent record amounts on school books and equipment, started to tackle the backlog of school repairs and ensured a fair pay deal for our teachers.
