Lib Dems try to make Iraq an issue in the local elections

Whereas the Conservatives and Labour Parties are focussing on local and national issues in the local elections the LIberal Democrats are focussing on the Iraq war:

On that basis it seems that the L/Ds haven't got anything to offer on the big local issues, and therefore why should anybody vote for them?

Iraq, big cock up, that's life, learn from it, move forward, you can't turn back the clocks, and being smug and sanctimonious doesn't solve the problem.

It is also worth remembering that the L/Ds wanted a second UN resolution as I recall, had there have been one, they too would have supported the war.....wouldn't they. ;)

****s!

Talk about a one trick pony! If the LibDems cannot manage better than a rehash of the one thing that the electorate, suitably brainwashed for them by the BBC, seem to agree with them about then that really makes a mockery of the LibDem claim to genuine localism.

And I thought the LibDems always wanted to make out they are a party that champions local issues...!

If we hadn't spent billions on Iraq, we would have more money to spend on local schools and hospitals, transport, etc...
