How to join the Liberal Democrats

You can join the Liberal Democrats quickly, easily and safely online here.

There are lots of reasons to join the Lib Dems. Some people join because they want to stand up for our values, of openness, tolerance and unity. Some because they want to help us win elections. Others so they can stand for election and stand up for their community.

Joining the Liberal Democrats will let you do all that - and much more besides. As a member, you'll have the power to change things and all our members, from party leader Vince Cable right down to our newest member, get the same equal vote in our policy and decision making.

Thousands of people are joining the party and our membership is at a record high.

Membership starts at £12 a year, but the party hopes that you might consider donating a little more. The recommended amount (as decided by members like you at our conference) is £70. There are concessionary rates too: students can join for £1 for their first year of membership and if you're under 26 or are entitled to receive state benefits (other than the state pension or child benefit) then membership starts from just £6 a year.
