Wendy Chamberlain MP becomes LDER President
We are excited to announce that Liberal Democrats for Electoral Reform has a new President - Wendy Chamberlain, our MP for North East Fife.
Since entering Parliament in 2019, Wendy has made her mark as an articulate, vivid advocate of electoral reform. Through most of 2020, as our Political and Constitutional Reform front bench spokesperson, she led the campaign both inside and outside Parliament. Last June, she initiated an adjournment debate on the need for reform; and in August she urged party members to join a Make Votes Matter (MVM) nationwide 'virtual' Action Day, which saw hundreds of Liberal Democrats get involved.
A strong believer in linking reform to improving peoples' everyday lives, also last June, Wendy spoke alongside Klina Jordan of MVM at a Green Liberal Democrats' conference session on Electoral Reform and the Environment. In September, she led our virtual fringe meeting, along with the Electoral Reform Society, Make Votes Matter and Unite to Reform.
Now our Parliamentary Chief Whip and Work and Pensions spokesperson, Wendy has maintained her commitment to our cause. In February, she became a Vice Chair of the newly-formed All Party Parliamentary Group on Electoral Reform. (Alistair Carmichael, Wera Hobhouse and Lord Paul Tyler are also APPG members). Wendy is also a member of the APPG on Deliberative Democracy. | |
