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.

Join us for a Facebook Live Event with Lib Dems Spokesperson for Communities and Local Government and MP for Bath, Wera Hobhouse.

Come and join us for our official launch at the Liberal Democrat Autumn conference in Brighton on Sunday 16th September from 1pm to 2pm in the Clarence Room, Hilton Metropole, Brighton.  5.5 million Brits live outside the UK. The Tory Government intends to enfranchise all of voting age. We will campaign for those votes and overseas constituencies.  Liberal Democrats Overseas will be launched by the party's Chair, Baroness Sal Briton.
