Tell Us Why You're A Lib Dem - Consultation and a Competition for you!
WHY ARE YOU A LIBERAL DEMOCRAT - TIM WANTS TO KNOW?
Why Are You A Liberal Democrat? What do you think are the party's unique values, beliefs and approach?And what do they have to offer the country over the next five years?
Discussing and debating these issues is an essential element of the party's fightback
The party's philosophy provides the backbone on which our policies and campaigns are built.
This is the focus of the Federal Policy Committee's Agenda 2020 exercise with three main aims:
- To foster party-wide debate and discussion on what Liberal Democrats stand for
- Analyse the policy challenges the UK will be facing over the next five years
- Map out a process of policy development to which party members can contribute.
It all started with the consultation paper and accompanying collection of essays which were published in the lead-up to autumn conference. We want to encourage a wide-ranging debate within the party, involving as many members and local parties as possible. Please follow the link below to give your response! The deadline for responding is 9 November.

HAVE YOU A TALE TO TELL......?
We're also running an essay competition, open to any party member: tell us in no more than 1,000 words 'What does it means to be a Liberal Democrat today?'. The deadline is 2nd November.
The next stage in the process will be a more detailed consultation paper for the spring conference, which will begin to map out the key areas on which the party needs to develop policy, and the main themes around which these policies will be developed.
I look forward to hearing from you,
Tim Farron
