Ros Scott’s Presidential report to party members

By | Tue 3rd March 2009 - 5:42 pm

We’re coming a bit belatedly to this, but in case LDV readers missed it, Lib Dem president Baroness Ros Scott blogger her February report to members over at Because Baronesses are people too. Here’s an excerpt:

My manifesto set out a number of areas where I wanted reform, but made it clear that there is no Presidential magic wand to make changes happen. I’m really pleased that progress is being made in many of these areas already, although it is still early days. The English Party are looking at selection rules for Westminster candidates and at the formal relationship between councillors, council groups and the wider Party, and FPC is looking at further increasing the level of participation in the policy making process. A great example of this is the proposed “Freedom Bill” – Chris Huhne has e-mailed all members to encourage them to participate in drawing up a bill dealing with the various infringements of civil liberties which we have opposed in recent years.
