British politics is obsessed with a silly row over whether the Conservative policy of "recognising marriage in the tax system" is affordable. This is an idiotic question. Anything is affordable if you are willing to raise taxes elsewhere or borrow to fund it.
That's the question being raised, after the Labour Government announced it will be buying 22 new Chinook Helicopters from American firm Boeing and not from Yeovil based Augusta-Westland, who have a licence to produce the Chinook for the UK and European markets.
Britain needs to fundamentally change its political system in 2010, not just change the political party in charge and only the Liberal Democrats, as the only truly democratic party of the big three, have the long term track record of commitment to that change. A vote for Cameron's Conservatives, with their shaky record on freedom, democracy and the environment would be a backward step. That's the New Year message from Windsor Lib Dems.
Windsor Liberal Democrats have launched a "Snowy Roads Survey" to build up a complete picture of what has been happening over the last few days. "Its essential we learn the lessons of this week, so that our Conservative council is better prepared for next time." says Windsor Lib Dem's Julian Tisi.

The Liberal Democrats today confirmed their commitment to scrapping student tuition fees.
The Liberal Democrats are committed to transforming maternal and neonatal care and ensuring inclusive care for all, so we can create a safer, more compassionate healthcare system for everyone.
Our market system should balance businesses’ needs and the rights and freedoms of workers.
The last ten days have been immensely difficult for our country.
