As we know their are a lot of low earners and part-time workers in this country.

The 10,000£ threshold is a good ambition. Under the current economic climate it's simply not affordable though. The liberals know they won't win outright so they can offer policy like that to tease voters, which they'll never have to implement.
I'd almost say Brown was better than Clegg last night. He sounded like a one trick pony. Plague on all your houses doesn't work third time round. He just looked silly for trying it.
