What we stand for
The Liberal Democrats exist to build and safeguard a fair, 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.
The Liberal Democrats stand firm on seven core values:
-
liberty
-
equality
-
democracy
-
community
-
human rights
-
internationalism
-
environmentalism
Each of these underpin the party's specific policy proposals.
