Campaigning for London in Parliament, in Europe and in the London Assembly
winners Do you want to see real change in London too?

London Liberal Democrats have launched an ambitious 5 year strategy . It includes plans for next year's voting referendum, The Mayoral and London Assembly elections in 2012, Local; and European Elections in 2014 and the General Election in 2015.

Liberal Democrats, now in Government for the first time in 65 years, are already having real influence; cleaning up politics, taking nearly a million low paid workers out of income tax, and restoring the index link for pensioners.

Other parties are backed by the trade unions or big business. We rely on on the support of our members and volunteers - people like you - and so we'd like to invite you to help us too. Thank you.
