2025 AGM Report
A warm welcome to everyone at our 2025 AGM.
It was another good year for the Liberal Democrats who did well in the 2025 local elections. It proved largely a straight fight between LibDems ad Reform with Labour performing poorly and the Tories disastrously. It was strange to see the LibDems locked together with Reform in the age old fight between liberal democracy and nationalistic populism.
Reform follows Trump’s lead. Reform are not anti-elitist, they need the monied classes. What they detest are the educated. It is a cultural war waged against universities, the press, and the bureaucracy. They celebrate those who have fallen behind and those who resent the changes brought on by globalization, the high tech/AI revolution, mass migration and gender and identity issues. They want to return to a past world of stability and shared norms. Unfortunately, they are also very coy and vague on economics.
