That's the Manchester Lib Dems, whose Opposition Budget for Manchester City Council involved *no* threat to swimming pools and Surestart (issues on which Labour have U-turned), concentrating on saving money in council waste and uncollected tax rather than cutting services?
And you're saying they should be "wiped out" because of the national Lib Dems, who've given extra funding to Manchester schools through the Pupil Premium, lifted many low-paid Mancunians out of income tax altogether and cut it for many m ore low and middle (but not high) earners. In favour of a Labour party who would have imposed £15k tuition fees instead of the new graduate tax, and whose policy now is a slight fee cap reduction which only benefits the richest graduates?
