WELCOME TO MERTON LIBERAL DEMOCRATS |
|
 Merton Liberal Democrats are the party organisation for the area covering the whole of Merton Council and the constituencies of Wimbledon and Mitcham & Morden.
We aim to create a fair and open society, where individual liberties and the rights of minorities are guaranteed. Government, bureaucracy and big business often takes control away from people. We will work to make sure that people have as much control over their own lives as possible. For the Liberal Democrat General Election Manifesto in 2010, see here.
NEWSFLASH: Lib Dems second in Wimbledon Parliamentary election, take two council seats in West Barnes and resist Labour Party 'squeeze' in Mitcham & Morden. Click here for more information

Britain will be more liberal by 2015 |
|
"Our challenge now is to seize this moment, the liberal moment, and to ensure that we help to deliver a liberal parliament", says Deputy Prime Minister and Liberal Democrat Leader Nick Clegg, speaking to the liberal think-tank Demos on 16 July.
"Now that the Liberal Democrats are in government, liberal ideas are being deployed directly. What you are seeing is liberalism in action. And I can tell you that as Deputy Prime Minister, my liberal instincts are stronger than ever. Our goal is clear.
By the time of the next election, on 7 May 2015, Britain will be a more liberal nation."

A better deal for our troops |
|
Labour has taken us into five wars. Afghanistan is going into its ninth year - almost as long as the two world wars combined. 
Yet under Labour, 13,000 of the lowest ranking personnel earn less than £17,000. More than 51,000 earn less than the salaries of trainee police officers and firefighters.
Merton Liberal Democrats are supporting the national campaign to get a better deal for our troops. You can sign the petition and find out more on Nick Clegg's website. |
