AGM 2025
Agenda and papers for our Annual General Meeting
The 2025 Annual General Meeting (AGM) of Liberal Democrats for Electoral Reform (LDER) will be held on November 3 via Zoom, starting at 7:30pm.
We are over a year into this Parliament and our 72 Liberal Democrat MPs are front and centre in the fight for fair votes.
With the most pro-PR parliament in history, an overwhelmingly pro-PR parliamentary Labour Party and an increasingly fragmented political landscape, could the conditions finally be ripe for change?
