The BBC reveals all
All parties have a lot to learn from this election and the Lib Dems are key amongst them. If they are serious about being a "real" party, let alone a "real" opposition, then they need to stop saying things to different people at different times.
In Kingston they hardly mentioned Local Income Tax, not surprisingly, but were attacked frequently for their hypocrisy over campaigning nationally for free personal care charges and then hiking them in Kingston and introducing means testing.

Jeez you really are a useless bimbo. I received huge numbers of Lib Dem leaflets from Mr Davey and they all mentioned abolishing Council Tax and replacing them with local income tax.
So if it's such a bad policy - what's your great idea? More Council Tax? You Tories are pretty keen on it because you stuck it up massively when you ran the council.
You really have to be one of the cheapest and disonest politicians I have ever met. I think you actually give politicians a bad name.
I said they "hardly" mentioned it and that is correct. It was listed as one of their ten policies but there was no detail, such as how much it would be?
Anyway, it is pretty clear it is a lousy policy in places like Kingston.
I think Council Tax was a good system until this Government used it as a stealth tax. It should be either reformed or abolished. If abolished then we should look at a local sales tax as a replacement for VAT.
Dishonest? No. Determined to let people know the truth about Lib Dem hypocrisy over Perosnal Care charges, amongst a string of failures in Kingston? Yes - get used to hearing about the nastiness of the Lib Dems.
