As the official opposition to the Conservatives over the past four years, it is the Liberal Democrats who have held the Conservatives to account on the issues that matter locally - from the closure of the Leas Lift, to the expansion of Lydd Airport, and opposing a massive 6.5% rise in Council house rents this year.

A new collaboration with Lib Dems Abroad, HK branch

Joint Chinese Liberal Democrat membership officers Yeing-Lang and Roger Crouch met up with members of the newly formed Hong Kong branch of Liberal Democrats Abroad on their recent trip to HongKong. Whilst the branch is a new one, the Liberal Democrats (and before the merger, the SDP and Liberal Parties) have been active in Hong Kong since the 1980s. When he was leader, Paddy Ashdown was a frequent visitor and obtained a high profile, given his Mandarin language skills, in Hong Kong particularly following the events of 1989.
