Welsh Lib Dems Push for Senedd Reform
LDER Executive Member Denis Mollison supports Welsh Liberal Democrat Jane Dodds MS in challenging the Closed List voting system for the Welsh Senedd
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.

On Wednesday 24 May, Liberal Democrats travelled from across the country to call on their MPs to support proportional representation for Westminster.
Another fantastic by-election win and a welcome to Sarah Dyke as our latest MP. Well done to everyone who helped.
