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.

"How can you possibly take on such a large financial commitment as Trident without considering the military and political implications? If fierce cuts are to be made in Britain's conventional forces, surely we have to consider whether replacing Trident can be justified. "
Sir Menzies Campbell
Response to announcement that the Ministry of Defence will be responsible for the cost of replacing Trident - 30 July
"With most of their leadership contenders claiming to back AV for a fairer voting system, it is astonishing they now wish to block the legislation to make that happen. Each and every Labour MP campaigned on a manifesto committing to a referendum. Now they have the opportunity to make this happen but have chosen to say no for opposition's sake. "
Simon Hughes MP
Comment on Labour's decision to oppose legislation for a referendum on the alternative vote - 28 July
"With more than half of ASBOs breached in 2008, this was a policy more about posturing than effective policing. Local communities know that other measures, such as Acceptable Behaviour Contracts can nip problems in the bud before they escalate. "
Co-Chair of the Liberal Democrat Parliamentary Committee for Home Affairs and Justice, Tom Brake MP
Commenting on speech by the Home Secretary in which she said it was 'time to move beyond Anti Social Behaviour Orders (ASBOs) - 28 July
