Simon Hughes on Today's Motion on 10:10 Campaign

Won't make any difference unless you are going to persuade the billions of Chinese and Indian people that they shouldn't have their cars and fridges like we do.

Thank you lib dems for finally taking climate change seriously. This is a great start and a big step in the right direction but it's not enough so I hope the pressure continues in the build up to Copenhagen.

is a good idea but also is very easy to say if you are extremely unlikely to be in a position of actual power

What, positions of actual power like the LibDem controlled councils which have signed up to 10:10?

If all you do is sneer at people who say good things because they aren't in power, what good are you doing? The whole point is to vote for the people saying the good things to *put* them in power. When they don't deliver on it, *then* you can sneer.

Councils do not = power not in a national political sense. And it is not sneering I may very well vote lib-dem at the next election however too much of what they say can only be said by a party that doesn't expect to see office.
