Taking Power


Today, Liberal Democrat Leader Sir Menzies Campbell and Liberal Democrat Peer Lord (Paul) Tyler, launched Taking Power, an online conference to look at the way in which Britain is run.


The project aims to re-engage people with the political process, the conference takes forward the work of the Power Inquiry which reported earlier this year and came down in favour of a fundamental change in the way that Britain is governed.


The Taking Power conference is being led by Liberal Democrat Peer Lord (Paul) Tyler and is a cross party event with former government ministers Michael Meacher MP and George Young MP also involved.


The conference is not only aimed at those who over the coming month will be enjoying the highlights of the political conference season in Brighton, Manchester and Bournemouth, but at the many people who have an interest in how this country is run and feel that this needs to change.


I would urge all readers to go to the Taking Power website and have a look at the issues that are being discussed. There will be a great number of topics that will be discussed
