across Aberdeenshire. Some current members are retiring from Council
and we have new candidates as well of all ages. Our newest and youngest candidate is only 23 - a local man, graduate in
Politics from Aberdeen University and exceptionally capable.<br />

<h3>Truly LOCAL</h3><br>
Liberal Democrats <i>are</i> the party of LOCAL decision taking.<br><br>
It's in our bones and in our blood. It's what we are about because we are
about you, the life you live, and your right to live your life, in your
way, and at peace with your neighbours in a free, fair, and prosperous
society.<br />
<br />
The preamble to our party constitution sums it all up:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="color: #76a5af;">
<i>The Liberal Democrats exist to build and safeguard a fair, free and open
society, in which we seek to balance the fundamental values of liberty,
equality and community, and in which no one shall be enslaved by
poverty, ignorance or conformity.</i></blockquote>
We believe in and support devolution of power to all the regional
parts of the United Kingdom and we believe Scotland can lead the way.
We believe that power should not just stop at Holyrood but pass all the
way down to local councils and even beyond. And there is a right level
for all decisions - sometimes at the UK level, sometimes at the Holyrood
level but mostly at the local level.<br />
<br />
The most important thing we can do with power is return it to the
people so that you can have control over your own lives. What else
would anyone want to do?<br />
<br />
We lead Aberdeenshire Council precisely because we are
committed to the aspirations of local people - important aspirations
like better education for your children, better housing for you and your family,
and better roads and better waste services that support your life
needs. And when we say 'lead' we mean precisely that. Nobody has a
monopoly of good ideas. Our policy has been, and will continue to be, a policy of inclusion and
co-operation with all members of Council regardless of their political affiliation.<br />
<br />
If you want a truly inclusive Council you can rely on Liberal Democrats to deliver it. Working co-operatively, listening, and delivering is what we do.<br />
<br />
We can't guarantee a land flowing with milk and honey - no honest person can - even though
we do aspire to continue delivering a great quality of life in
Aberdeenshire. What we can guarantee is an inclusive and progressive council committed to improvement and, above all, committed to you.<br />
