Next Monday evening, from 6-7 pm, the Federal Board are having an online q and a session for all party members.
Party President Mark Pack will be taking questions and I’ll be there alongside former Welsh President and AM Bill Powell.
I’d really like to see loads of you there, not least because doing this was my idea and I’ll look like an idiot if nobody turns up. We had some really useful discussions in the Federal Board booth at Federal Conference. In fact, believe it or not, I was even able to give some information about the English Party constitution.
Also, much as I love Mark, I don’t want to spend an hour arguing with him about which is the best type of chocolate.
And finally, my dogs can usually be relied upon to turn up to meetings, so if you have heard about Hazel and Bernie on Twitter, now is your chance to meet them.
Seriously, though, our party democracy is really important to us. We are a member led organisation and all the power structures should be accountable and this, for me, is part of that. It’s also important that our decisions are informed by what members are thinking and we will be having a Board meeting the very next night so what you tell us will be fresh in our minds.

Lindsay vs Thornsby – House of Comments podcast comes to Conference
On Sunday morning, Nick Thornsby and Caron Lindsay joined Mark Thompson in the Liberal Democrat Voice broom cupboard in Glasgow and recorded a special edition of his House of Comments podcast.
Have a listen and see whether our crystal balls were right as we predicted how Conference would go and discussed everything from Trident, nuclear power, fracking, online pornography and Nick Clegg’s position as leader. Deficit hawk Thornsby and old fashioned tax and spender Lindsay put forward their relative positions on the economy in entirely civilised fashion.
