What We Stand For

The Preamble to the Constitution of the Liberal Democrats reads:

“The Liberal Democrats exist to build a safe, free and open society, in which we seek to balance the fundamental values of liberty, equality and community, and in which no one shall be enslaved by poverty, ignorance or conformity. These are the conditions of liberty and social justice which it is the responsibility of each citizen and the duty of the state to protect and enlarge. The Liberal Democrats consist of women and men working together for the achievement of these aims."

Angus and Mearns Liberal Democrats

Angus and Mearns Liberal Democrats is what the Liberal Democrats call a local party.
