"Tories a fake on green issues," say Dundee Liberal Democrats

"Tories a fake on green issues," says Cllr Fraser Macpherson

Dundee Liberal Democrats today (Sunday 10th December) have highlighted the superficial stance of the Conservatives on green issues.

The Liberal Democrats have released a dossier showing that the Tories may have started to talk green, but are continuing to act dirty.

Liberal Democrat Shadow Environment Secretary, Chris Huhne MP, said, "The Tories have been woefully irresponsible - they talk green but act dirty. David Cameron drives a car that emits more carbon than all 10 of the best-selling cars in Britain. George Osborne says he favours green taxes, but the special commission he set up to look at taxes did not come up with a single plan for green taxation."

Locally, here in Dundee, Liberal Democrat Council Group Leader, Cllr Fraser Macpherson said, "The Conservative position on green issues is superficial and is simply an attempt to try to gain votes. The future of our planet is rather more important."
