The Liberal Democrats have an ambitious plan for the future of our country, where every person, every community and our planet can thrive.
The Liberal Democrats exist to build and safeguard a fair, free and open society, in which we seek to balance the fundamental values of liberty, equality and community, and in which no one shall be enslaved by poverty, ignorance or conformity.
No. The Liberal Democrats do not present candidates in Northern Ireland. The Alliance Party is our sister party in Northern Ireland.
There are 11 Liberal Democrat MPs. See them all here.
Five Liberal Democrat MPs were originally elected as Conservatives, and three Liberal Democrats were originally elected as Labour. Heidi Allen, Sam Gyimah, Phillip Lee, Antoinette Sandbach and Sarah Wollaston were former Conservatives. Luciana Berger, Angela Smith and Chuka Umunna were formerly Labour.
Some see the Liberal Democrats as being in the centre on a left/right spectrum. Others reject this spectrum, and instead see the party at the liberal end of a liberal-authoritarian spectrum, with Labour and the Tories at the opposite end.
The Liberal Democrats’ colours are yellow (Pantone 1375C) and charcoal (Pantone Process Black). Details can be found online in the Liberal Democrats style guide.
