Not sure how this claim stacks up with their actions in the last Labour Budget in March this year. When Labour proposed a 2p rise in fuel duty the Lib-Dems did not even call for a vote on it. On May 15 their MPs could have contested it again in the Public Bills Committee on Provision to Change Duties, but again they did not. The Lib Dems in Westminster have twice let pass an opportunity to vote against fuel duty increase.
How then can they claim to want to help the hard pressed motorist. Maybe they should get a copy of Collins Dictionary and start looking up "Hypocrite" themselves.
Actions speak louder than words!
UKIP the only party that Dare to be different!
Norman Baker, Lib Dem transport spokeamsn was quoted in the Scotsman when this year's budget came out, criticizing Alistair Darling for not increasing fuel/vehicle taxes enough!!!!
ReplyDeleteHe was also quoted in the May 27th edition of the Independent:
"But Norman Baker, the Liberal Democrat transport spokes-man, said scrapping the fuel duty increase would "send the wrong message". He added: "The reality is that the reason we have a massive increase in petrol prices is due to the international market and the price of oil. The Government should be pressing the case for moving away from an oil-based economy."
