January 9, 2012 10:53 AM

Our party is already having a major influence on Government with large parts of our manifesto becoming legislation. Here is some of what we have achieved so far:

  • "The Lib-Dems have been instrumental in forcing a rethink of controversial NHS reform plans" The Observer 10th April 2011
  • Over a million low paid workers have been taken out of income tax
  • Lower income tax bills for over 20 million medium and and low income earners
  • £4.50 a week pensions increase and the earnings link with pensions restored
  • Tough new tax on the banks to raise £10 billion
  • More apprenticeships to get young people into work
  • Pupil Premium introduced to help poorer pupils
  • ID cards scrapped
  • A £900 million crack-down on tax evasion
  • Our Minister for Equality has been working on legislation which will tackle hate crime more effectively and work towards a more fairer and just society for everyone
