Liberal Democrat candidates standing at the city council elections on Thursday 5 May are offering voters a strong, liberal alternative to the two old parties that have dominated Plymouth politics for far too long.
Plymouth Liberal Democrats have paid tribute to Baroness Shirley Williams as she retires from the House of Lords.
Liberal Democrats were out in force last weekend, launching their party's local effort to keep Britain in Europe by delivering thousands of leafets to homes in the city.
Plymouth's Herald newspaper today published this letter from Peter York, the President of the Plymouth Liberal Democrats:
Hugh Janes, the chair of Plymouth Liberal Democrats, has pointed to the Liberal victory in Canada's general election as evidence of how liberal parties can bounce back after election disappointments. At the election, held on 19th October, Canada's Liberals jumped from the 34 seats they won in 2011 to win 184 this time. At the previous election the Liberals had seen their seat tally more than halve.
