The Liberal Democrat parliamentary candidate for Saffron Walden, Peter Wilcock, has set out his campaign priorities for the General Election: fair taxes; a fair start for every child; fair, clean and local politics and a fair, green economy with jobs that last. Peter Wilcock said: "People have been let down by politicians and are rightly frustrated. I am going into the election with a manifesto that is short, direct and to the point. The Lib Dems want to give you the right to sack your MP if they are suspended for misconduct. The Liberal Democrats are the only party committed to real change of our political system - flushing out big money and corrupt donors, and reducing the number of MPs by 150".

"We will introduce fairer taxes by closing loopholes for the richest, introducing a tax on mansions and tax cuts of £700 for everyone else.

"If your child is at school in this area we can promise investment to help reduce class sizes, improve discipline and develop one-to-one tuition.

"We will rebuild the economy in every part of Britain in a way that promotes green technology and creates lasting jobs. We will put an end to casino banking, bring back competition and support local entrepreneurs to make sure local businesses can find the money they need to grow".

"The coming months are a crucial time for politics and I will be using them to focus on these four priorities and delivering real change here."
