There is one phrase that irks Liberal Democrats more than any other. It’s this: “That’s just the way things are”. No. The way things are is not the way things have to be.
There is a better way. What will the Liberal Democrats do?
We will give you fair taxes. We’ll raise the income tax threshold to £10,000 handing back an average of £700 in tax-relief funded by a radical re-balancing of the tax system.
We’ll make sure that everyone gets the fair education opportunities they deserve. We’ll invest an extra £2.5 billion in a “pupil premium” for schools in the poorest areas of the country and we’ll abolish tuition fees and the unfair barrier to higher education they represent.
We will create a new, fair economy where we are no longer held hostage by the greed of bankers in the City of London.
And we will give you a fair, open and transparent politics after the gross betrayal of the expenses scandal. We’ll introduce a proportional electoral system ending the “seats for life” that foster so much corruption and ensuring that every vote counts.
It really is as simple as that. When you think about who to vote for remember that the future of your country is at stake. are. Be demanding. Vote for what you believe in.

As students your vote should count on May 6, use it to support candidates and parties who represent students’ interests and campaigns for the issues that affect you. Use that vote, to vote Labour.
Labour are the part of the many and not the few. If Labour had not expanded Further and Higher Education I, like many of you might not be at Sheffield University today.
While the Tories and Lib Dems have opposed Labour’s 50 per cent of young people going to university, but even in the economic crisis Labour has guaranteed twenty-thousand additional university places, this year, fully funded, with the grants and loans to go with them.
In Sheffield Central Labour has a great candidate in Paul Blomfield, General Manager of Sheffield University’s award winning Students’ Union.
Paul has spent much of his working life representing students and knows the issues that affect us.
In Sheffield Hallam, Jack Scott, a recent graduate of Sheffield University, knows the issues that face students today.
Both Jack and Paul have pledged to vote against any increase in University fees, to campaign for more jobs and internships for graduates in Sheffield and to give students a strong voice in Parliament.

2010 can be the year for change for Britain, and you can play a part in delivering this change by voting for the Conservatives on May 6.
As a student value for money is incredibly important, and that’s why we have pledged to help university students by working to improve the way that universities are funded, and by introducing an early repayment bonus scheme for student loans which are repaid ahead of schedule.
Many of us will be graduating throughout a time of economic uncertainty, and future job prospects are an issue that concern many of us. That’s why we would abolish tax on jobs created by new businesses for the first two years of a Conservative government, a move which is expected to generate 60,000 new jobs, which will be invaluable to us after we graduate.
Britain deserves a new government that will be careful with taxpayers’ money and build a strong foundation for a sustainable recovery in the years ahead.
We have something to offer to everyone, and for more information visit conservatives.com, or you can contact me directly through the Conservative Future Sheffield Facebook group.
If you want change there can only be one choice, and that’s to vote Conservative on May 6.
