Liberal Democrats Advocate Green Ecomony

It’s conference season in the UK, coinciding with the US Conventions. The difference is that UK political conferences happen once a year, while the US conventions happen once every four years.

The UK’s third party, the Liberal Democrats are not some kind of Ross Perot outfit who snipe from the sidelines. Liberalism is a a huge part of the British psyche — 100 years ago it was in the defacto Government/Opposition in a two party system and many UK politicians still cling to their liberal credentials.

Subsumed for a small time by the socialist agenda, liberalism may be set for a resurgence. Both Conservatives and Labour wish to prescribe remedies to the population, but only Liberalism allows the people to be educated and make their own decisions.

So when Nick Clegg, Liberal Democrat leader, calls for a green economy, you know he’s not just blowing it out of his bottom.

He’s putting in on the table: right there in front of you. Take it or leave it. What’s your choice, what will you decide?

The Liberal Democrats will not make up the next government, nor the one after that. That’s what Nick Clegg believes. However, he’s not into this game of power politics. He wants you to believe that he’s interested only in the long term .. those solutions which will works for decades to come.

The question is, do you believe him .. and will you vote for him?
