Introducing Liberal International British Group

By Wendy Kyrle-Pope | Wed 3rd June 2015 - 9:02 am

New members have been asking about Lib Dem organisations that they can join. You are welcome to submit similar items on behalf of other organisations.

Liberal International British Group (LIBG) is the body for Liberal Democrats interested in international issues.

All too often, the pressures of local campaigning mean that there is little room in constituency parties for any discussion of international topics, and few outlets for those members whose political interest stretch beyond the UK.

LIBG holds speaker meetings on the situation in other countries several times a year in London and now also has branches in the north west, the midlands and Scotland, which organise their own activities.

Our recent meetings have included EU migration, the impact of radical Islam, a showing of the film Lakshmi about trafficking of women in India and discussion meetings on Ukraine and Egypt
