Dundee Liberal Democrats - working for the people of Dundee
Dundee Liberal Democrats work for the people of Dundee all year round. We want to bring radical change to the city - improving local services and the city's representation at Holyrood and Westminster.
We hope you will want to join with us in achieving change for all Dundee's citizens - a radical, caring alternative to the Tory-Labour-Nat arguments which have achieved so little for our city in past years.
The Liberal Democrats have made great strides forward locally during the past few years. The Liberal Democrats were the only one of the main four parties whose share of the vote increased at the 2003 Dundee City Council elections. In the recent 2007 elections, our two Dundee West Councillors, Fraser Macpherson (West End Ward) and Helen Dick (Strathmartine Ward) successfully held their seats. Additionally, we came very close to winning seats in Coldside, Maryfield, Lochee and East End Wards and made progress in parliamentary voting terms.
Dundee's two Lib Dem councillors work hard for their local communities and are committed to working constructively with councillors from other parties for the good of the City of Dundee.

"I hate to say it, but only one party leader seems to have grasped that, if you construct a system where unskilled people are worse off by taking a job than by staying on welfare, they remain trapped in poverty - and that is Nick Clegg. "
Lord Norman Tebbit
Daily Telegraph online - 13 Jan
"It's unbelievable that the Tories are still planning to cut taxes for a handful of millionaires when the majority of people across the country are feeling the squeeze. We need fair tax cuts that put money back in the pockets of ordinary people. The Tory sums simply do not stack up. It is irresponsible and highly misleading for George Osborne to continue to pretend that they do. "
