I see that Sarah Teather and the Liberal Democrats are making broken promises a major theme of their election campaign nationally. Here in Brent, we know all about the Liberal Democrats record on broken promises.
My favourite is their pledge to freeze the Council Tax, followed by raising it by £100. Not a prominent feature of this leaflet.
By the way, their current pledge of freezing Brent Council Tax in 2010 is totally meaningless. The budget has been passed and the bills sent out. Doing anything other than keeping it frozen would be hugely expensive. Still it is interesting that they say nothing whatever for the Council Tax after this year (unlike Brent Labour and the Brent Tories). Are they planning a big tax increase for 2011?
