"More young people are saying they will vote Liberal Democrat"

The National Liberal Democrat Campaign came to Tunbridge Wells with a force this week with posters being unveiled at prime sites in the town. Focusing on the "10 good reasons to vote Liberal Democrat" campaign, Education was a high priority for Tunbridge Wells.

With the poster stating "We Oppose tuition fees and tuition fees, We propose scrapping tuition fees", Laura Murphy, Parliamentary Candidate said, "When I talk to young people, their first question is about tuition fees. "Will we have to pay?" Unlike Labour, who backtracked on their promise, our promise remains. We will scrap tuition fees and top-up fees, as we have done in Scotland."
