Mary Reid

Last chance to submit your entry for ‘Your Liberal Britain’

By | Mon 2nd January 2017 - 9:29 am

What would Britain look like in 2030, if we Lib Dems had our way? That is the challenge set by Your Liberal Britain.

Before Christmas Sal Brinton reminded us in an email:

If we do this well, we’ll not only inspire manifestos and campaigns for years to come, but we’ll also inspire the people in this country who are looking for leadership through difficult times. Your ideas could help give them that leadership.

The authors of the winning entries will be invited to join Your Liberal Britain’s writing group, who’ll work together to take a shared vision to Conference in 2017. If it passes a vote, your contribution could become the official party vision.

The deadline for entries is midnight on Wednesday (4th January), so this is a final reminder to send in your contributions. You can take part here.

We have already published quite a few of your essays on Lib Dem Voice, and we have room for a couple more this week if you’d like to send them to us on [email protected].

* Mary Reid is a contributing editor on Lib Dem Voice. She was a councillor in Kingston upon Thames, where she is still very active with the local party, and is the Hon President of Kingston Lib Dems.

    This ‘initiative’ is the sort of thing which makes me despair. Luckily, I get out there in the community and campaign with the people and generally feel better.

    I am currently unable to access the surveymonkey pages to submit an entry. Any idea whom I can contact?
