In a few months’ time, members in Wales will be facing a massive test; a test we have proven we can manage at local government, but have yet to prove at a Parliamentary level. How do we respond to the rise of Reform? How do we put our best foot forward and be the Liberal anti-authoritarian alternative to the populist right?
It is through that lens with which I am viewing our Presidential election. It is important now more than ever that we have a strong voice for Liberalism, pushing the party to be our best selves and come out fighting with our values. We need a President who will promote these values, bringing with them decades of experience in local government, and the structures of our party. To do this, we need to make sure our party is fighting fit and in the best place to fight each election that comes our way during this Parliament.
The strength of our party has always come from the way we engage our membership and having known Prue since I was in the Young Liberals, I know she understands the strengths our membership brings, as our party’s secret weapon. Her willingness to help people engage in the party, and harness people’s enthusiasm is what we need in a President, especially when the role is so critical to running our large, and often complicated organisation.
