Welsh Liberal Democrats: 13/04/2012 Party Election Broadcasts

Ahead of the local elections on 3rd May,

Nick Clegg is touring Britain,

highlighting the tax cuts Liberal Democrats have delivered

for more than 20 million working people.

Mr Clegg's ambition is for no-one to pay any tax

on the first £10,000 they earn.

-How old are you two?

-I'm 21.

-Yeah.

-I'm 20.

-Oh, right. Brilliant.

I am addicted to one simple principle, which is this -

that we should make sure that tax cuts are aimed at people

on middle and low incomes.

That's why our flagship Liberal Democrat policy

of making sure that the tax system allows you to earn £10,000 tax-free

is so important to me, and I just want us

to move the tax system in a direction where there is less tax on income,

on effort and work, and more tax on wealth and the wealthy.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Our priority has been about delivering tax cuts

to millions of ordinary, hard-working families.

We said it, we've promised it, and today we've done it.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Hello, boys and girls.

-ALL:

-Good morning, Mr Clegg.

-Good morning.

'Of course this is a very challenging time,'

but it doesn't mean we can't do fair things.

-Hello.

-Hiya.

-And you are?

-Emma.

'It's Liberal Democrats who are delivering more new apprenticeships

'than have ever been delivered in our sort of peacetime history.'

The Liberal Democrats are once again a truly national party,

doing the right thing for the whole nation.

APPLAUSE

So the coalition government is working hard

on making this nation stronger,

fairer, greener, freer.

That's the prize, so let's get out there and fight for it.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

On May 3rd, vote for tax cuts for workers.

Vote for higher tax on the super-rich.

And vote to help pensioners.

Vote for the Liberal Democrats.
