Anyone can register to comment on a blog piece, or in the members-only forum, but if you’d like to submit an Opinion piece for Lib Dem Voice, you’re very welcome to do that.

Contributions to the blog should be c.500 words - though this is advisory, not mandatory - and should be sent to

Articles submitted to Lib Dem Voice should be original, and not previously published elsewhere on the internet. If you refer to organisations, quotes or evidence to back up your argument, please do include the full website url of your source to enable us to insert the correct link into your piece. Please state your affiliation to the Liberal Democrat party - ie, if you’re a member / activist / councillor, etc. Please email us a ‘mug-shot’ photo to accompany your article (if you’d like to).

We are happy to publish articles by non-Lib Dem members (at the editor’s discretion), and will ensure this is flagged for readers to avoid confusion or misunderstanding. In some (exceptional) circumstances a pseudonym will be allowed.

The blog is edited, so that it remains lively and interesting. We can’t give you a cast iron promise that if you submit a piece it will be published, but if it can’t be published straight away we’ll usually advise you how you can improve the piece to get it published at a later date.

That said, this is a blog by Lib Dem members, for Lib Dem members, so you don’t have to be Pepys or Shakespeare to be published: just tell us what’s on your mind.

The final, and perhaps most important thing to remember is that the Lib Dem Voice site is completely neutral - it espouses no policy agenda, and does not belong to any supposed wing of the party. All views are welcome.
