An example of the work we do

In the months before the 2024 General Election was unexpectedly called, the prospect of a hung parliament appeared to be a possible if improbable outcome. In case of such an event occurring, LDER prepared a briefing for the Liberal Democrats leadership to use in any subsequent negotations between parties.

Following the election the Labour Party, under the UK's First-Past-the-Post electoral system, secured a large parliamentary majority (albeit on a much smaller percentage of the vote): the notion of any negotiations became a moot point.

However, as an example of the type of work we do, we have uploaded the draft Electoral Representation Bill we prepared to the website. You can find it here.
