Following a weekend dominated by MPs’ expense scandals, I am proud to announce that Libertas is today leading the charge to Stamp Out Sleaze.
The party is launching five pledges this week, one each day, designed to tackle the root cause of sleaze.
Our first Stamp Out Sleaze pledge is a promise from all Libertas candidates that, if elected, they will publish their expenses in detail, including receipts and explanations of what the purchase was for. Tax payers have a right to see how their cash is being spent and whether they are getting value for money.
We want to lead by example. Politics doesn’t have to be dirty. Our politicians should be people that we can trust to look after our money both wisely and frugally. That’s why we are today promising to be completely open about how we spend tax payers’ money, and I invite all the other parties to sign up to this pledge too, and together we can rebuild trust in our politicians.
The EU is broken, but Libertas can fix it.

There is one party that set out its election stall months ago - long before the expenses revelations
ReplyDeleteDemocracy, Accountability, Transparency and Efficiency.
That party is LIBERTAS and now all the parties are bleating about the lack of all four of these basic principles and wishing they had put them forward as priorities a bit sooner.
All those fed up with the sleaze at Westminster should vote for those who got their principles right in the first place. LIBERTAS in the June 4th Euro elections.
