Special Conference Report
Representatives of the Totnes & Brixham Liberal Democrats were present in Birmingham on the 16th May to attend a special conference called to debate the recent coalition agreement. The mood of Lib Dem members was described by one speaker as ranging from "excited but anxious" to "anxious but excited". The conference was opened by Baroness Ros Scott, the party president. She was warm in her praise for Nick Clegg and the negotiating team and was the first of many speakers to say that they had no alternative to making a deal with the Conservatives.
