Liberal Democrat manifesto 2017

Tim Farron - LibDem manifesto
The Liberal Democrat manifesto was officially launched on 17th May and seems to have been pretty well received on the whole, not just for the content but also for the clear language and clarity of presentation. You can download it here. A variety of formats is available:
  1. The potted web version;
  2. the full 100 page effort, with important background info for each section, clear explanations of policy and how it will be funded;
  3. a 12 page "easy read" version in large print which doesn't take the reader for an idiot. Can be used as a checklist in conjunction with (2);
  4. an audio version, for the sight-impaired;
  5. a BSL version for the deaf;
  6. a braille version
There's supposed to be a PDF on the costing of all this, but it doesn't work. Apart from that, whether you're a LibDem or not: this, guys, is how it should be done. Read and learn.


Disclaimer: I am a member of the Liberal Democrat party but I try to be unbiased.

That being said, the below is absolutely not at all unbiased and I make no apology for it, as the LibDems are financed solely by personal donations. No big corporations, no unions, just people.
