Last week, LDV published an article by Christopher Bones, chair of the Lib Dems party reform commission, explaining how he and his colleagues had set about their work, and highlighting the report’s key recommendations. Chris also volunteered to answer any questions submitted by members in LDV’s forum. A number of you did so, and Chris has replied to all the questions/comments posed here. If anyone has supplementaries, Chris has volunteered to have a second go – and of course there will be opportunity at conference (9am, Monday, 14th September) to have a fuller discussion.
