WELCOME TO TRURO & FALMOUTH LIBERAL DEMOCRATS
We are the Liberal Democrat Local Party for the Parliamentary Constituency of Truro & Falmouth. Our objective is to promote Liberal Democrat values, particularly by gaining democratic power in Parliamentary and local council seats.
Truro and Falmouth Constituency is one of six Parliamentary constituencies in Cornwall. It runs diagonally across central Cornwall, from St Agnes and Perranporth on the north coast to Falmouth and St Mawes on the south.
The constituency was created for the 2010 General Election by combining parts of two existing ones - Falmouth & Camborne and Truro & St Austell. Although the latter had a long history of Liberal and Lib Dem representation, the new seat is currently held by the Conservatives.
Cornwall Council is the unitary authority operating all major council services. It is currently run by a Lib Dem/Independent coalition.
Beneath the unitary council, sit Truro City Council, the Town Councils of Falmouth and Penryn, and a number of parish councils. Only the first two have councillors representing political parties.
If you are interested in joining us, please follow the link on the side bar to Join the Party. This will take you to the national website, and your details will be forwarded to us.
If you are a Liberal Democrat supporter in the Truro/Falmouth Constituency and wish to become more involved, please get in touch; you can e-mail your interest to info@trurofalmouth-libdems.org.uk.

Article: Sep 17, 2019There is something that the architects of Brexit are desperately trying to distract us from.
Our planet is in crisis, balanced on a knife-edge at the point of no return.
Our planet is in crisis, balanced on a knife-edge at the point of no return.
Due to man-made climate change, global temperatures are soaring, the polar ice caps are melting faster than ever before, and whole nations are already facing the existential crisis of rising sea levels and extreme weather. Whole species of animals are being wiped out month by month, and global famine is a very real threat.

Hello Conference!
What a brilliant time to be a Liberal Democrat!
On the 7th May next year, London voters will make a decision of national and international importance. Who will be the next Mayor of London.
They will decide who they believe embodies the very spirit of London. Who will stand up for global, liberal, pro-European, warm-hearted and dynamic values. Who will reflect and reinforce the optimism, diversity and entrepreneurialism of our capital.

Conference, I don't know about you, but when you knock on doors canvassing, and people say "Oh, you're all the same", it can be quite frustrating.
Brexit has changed all that. Everyone now knows, we are very different from Johnson's Conservatives and Corbyn's Labour.
Only the Liberal Democrats want to stop Brexit. Let's face it. Our great country could be just 46 days from economic catastrophe.

The power to strip someone of their citizenship is one of the most serious the Home Secretary possesses.
It should only be taken when absolutely necessary. And only when the national security interest can be proven in court.
Was Javid's decision to strip Shamima Begum's citizenship about the safety of our country or the advancement of his career?

Vince began by thanking everyone who had helped him during his time as leader, and saying what he'd be doing next:
"I have fought ten national elections over half a century. I couldn't have done that on my own without the emotional and practical support of my wife Rachel and my late wife Olympia. And without my dedicated team of volunteers in Twickenham and in Parliament led by Dee Doocey."

Conference, it is an honour and a pleasure to be addressing you as a Liberal Democrat Member of Parliament and as your Shadow Foreign Secretary.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for making me feel so welcome. I could not be more at home in the wonderful Liberal Democrat family.
The truth is, all the incredibly difficult decisions I have made on the journey I've been on this year were routed in my values and principles. I joined this party out of conviction.

Jane started by thanking everyone who came to help in Brecon and Radnorshire...
Whether you came during the recall petition or the by-election or even both - thank you. Without all of you, and the wider party and beyond, I would not be standing here today as the MP for Brecon & Radnorshire.
