Electoral reform at our York Spring 2024 Conference – Exhibition and Fringe meeting,

At our York Conference (March 15-17, 2024) we'll be emphasising the importance of electoral reform to rebuilding trust in the UK's politics; and to its being one of our own party's key policies as differentiating us from the opposing parties.

It's great see reform feature so highly - one of our top five priorities - in our pre-manifesto - (see 'Fair Democracy' under libdems.org/plan). We aim to build on that momentum.

You can still register to attend in person; and you can also sign up for auditorium debates digitally. Go to - https://www.libdems.org.uk/conference

Here’s what’s happening -

LDER fringe:

Friday March 15th 8.15-9.30pm in the Novotel (room 3)  - we explore the broader problems facing voter participation in our elections. 'Why Don't People Vote' sees Tom Brake, Director Unliock Democracy, chair the discussion with panellists Wendy Chamberlain MP, President LDER; Josh Babarinde, our Eastbourne PPC, along with Lee Jasper from Operation Black Vote and Sally Yalden from Make Votes Matter.

Support our exhibition stall - here’s how!

We’re on stall 34 in the York exhibition centre - come and visit us!  We're always keen to make new friends and to renew existing relations. We'll have on-stall literature and of of course it's the place, if you have't already done so, to join LDER or sign up for our newsletters.

So: for those of you joining Conference in York - we hope to see you there.

Otherwise, we'll report back here on Conference highlights.

 

 

 

Liberal Democrats for Electoral Reform (LDER) is the campaign hub for Liberal Democrats who want a fair voting system which delivers maximum, equal power to the voter; and representative bodies which proportionately reflect the way people voted.

LDER is an official 'affiliated organisation' of the Liberal Democrats.

While you need to be a member of the Liberal Democrats to join LDER, we proactively work across reform organisations and other parties to achieve reform; so non-LD members are most welcome to sign up for our updates, including our regular newsletters.

We work to:

  • Inform all party members about the arguments for electoral reform
  • Motivate members to campaign actively for reform
  • Ensure electoral reform is a policy priority for the party
  • Cooperate with others outside the party to build the campaign necessary to achieve reform (non-party members are invited to sign up to receive our newsletters)
  • Support other political and constitutional reforms needed for the UK to have a democracy fit for the 21st century
