Dear Editor,

Regardless of the Prime Minister’s decision to postpone the expected election, Liberal Party members are confident to take up the challenge whenever it comes.

At our 122nd Liberal Party Assembly the Party adopted radical and distinct policies including:

• Abolishing the current inheritance tax system and the numerous exemptions;
• Replace it with a tax based on taxing the recipients at a marginal rate of 10%, not 40%
• Giving all British born young people a capital grant of £10,000 at 25;
• Where young people from age 18 are able to show use of the money for educational courses, vocational training, start up of businesses or home purchase the grant to paid earlier.

This exciting policy of universal inheritance will help young people to break out of the poverty trap and encourage enterprise.

Liberals also proposed integrating income tax and national insurance into one system, with tax only starting from a threshold of £10,000. Millions of low paid would be immediately taken out of a repressive tax system. At the same time the excessive bureaucracy of numerous overlapping benefits would be cut back and simplified.

Liberals are determined to restore the work ethic and cut the dependency culture in society.

Debating the new EU treaty Liberals are demanding the British people have the right to vote on this new Euro Super State and want to reverse the centralising powers of the EU.

Whenever the election comes, we wish to turn the country round, close the inequality in wealth gap andengineer a tax and benefits system that encourages work, savings and enterprise.
