Liberal Democrats Abroad officially launched on Sunday 16th September at a well-attended lunchtime event in the Hilton Brighton Metropole.

The party conference was in full swing and many attendees expressed interest in the topics affecting Britons overseasateful if you could illustrate  - especially the need for ‘votes for life’.

I’ve been a member for almost two years and this month I went to a Liberal Democrat conference for the first time.  In fact, I think it is the first time I’ve been to a political conference since my NUS days at university - too many years ago.

This autumn conference took place in Brighton - not too far from where I grew up.  When I think of the Brighton Centre I remember the excitement of being a 7 year old queuing round the corner in the summer that Star Wars opened.  The LibDem conference didn’t quite have the same glamour or special effects but I was impressed.

Hello and welcome to Liberal Democrats Overseas - the section of the party dedicated to members and supports who live outside Europe.  We welcome Brits from all across the world to join us.
