Can't make it:

Your manifesto proposes "green" taxation, where the polluter pays more and ordinary folk pay less.  Presumably this is not only designed to raise money but to persuade polluters to stop polluting. So when polluters are forced to mend their ways, how will the system cope with the resulting reduction in potential income ?

Dear Ming,

The consequences of un-mitigated climate change are so severe, that our national response should transcend party politics. Much of the public will remain unconvinced that they have to take any action themselves while politicians argue about who's got the greenest set of policies. This is a national emergency and I'm convinced the seriousness and urgency mean we should drop inter-party rivalries and set up a "war cabinet" to take control of our response.
My question is - will the Lib Dems take the lead in promoting this idea?

many thanks

Robert

Dear Ming

The Welsh Labour Party have revived John Redwood's plans to build a motorway across important wildlife sites on the Gwent Levels to the south of Newport.  Not only would the wildlife be trashed, the road would massively increase traffic levels and carbon dioxide emissions across south Wales.  If the Lib Dems enter a coalition with Labour after the Assembly elections in May, would you encourage them to drop the road plans?

Thanks,
Julian, Cardiff
