Campaign with us
Join us at one of our upcoming events, or learn about other ways to join the campaign for reform.
LDER aggressively campaigns for reform.
In recent times, we supported our MPs and peers in opposing the appalling Tory Elections Act 2023. We liaised with parliamentarians and with non-party activist groups to lobby likely supporters of our cause. In the Lords, Liberal Democrat peers were able to lead amendments to the tehn bill - all, tragically overturned when the bill returned to the Commons, but we all made the case - and made it easier for an incoming government to abolish this pernicious undemocrstic move by the Tories.
We also work closely with reform allies - most recently in May 2023 with the Makes Votes Matter-led 'Sort the System' lobby day in Westminster. We were delighted to have the support of the Young Liberals in maximising party members awareness and support for the day.
LDER has also collaborated with ALDC to produce local party campaigning materials. You can find it here - do use it and let us know feedback and comments.

Upcoming Events
Electoral Reform Action Day, 14th April 2024 10am - 4pm
Come along to Keir Starmer's backyard to campaign on Electoral Reform - let's take the fight to Labour in the London campaign!
Alongside Charlie Clinton, PPC for Holborn & St Pancras, we invite you to Keir Starmer's backyard to campaign on Electoral Reform. We'll also be joined by a special guest: London Assembly member Hina Bokhari.
We will be talking to voters about whether politics is working for them, pointing out that the Labour Party is in favour of electoral reform but Keir Starmer is not. We'll also be highlighting that the current London wide campaign for the GLA is the only PR election they get to vote in - and why that means that their vote matters.
Weather permitting, we'll have a picnic in Russell Square for lunch and then out for a second round of afternoon canvassing.
The day kicks off at 10am. We will have a stand by Russell square for the day, both to talk to passing voters and to act as HQ.
You are welcome to join at any point during the day or sign up here to let us you know are coming.
