Why should you join the Women Liberal Democrats?
Because women still do not have an equal voice in Parliament, in our local Councils, nor in the Liberal Democrat Party itself. We are changing this by:
-
Organising seminars, fringe meetings, workshops and training sessions
-
Encouraging women to become and remain active members of the party
-
Supporting women candidates at national and local level
-
Putting forward Policy Motions to Conference
-
Campaigning on issues which affect women's lives

WLD Influence on Tax Policy
Mon 20th Apr 2009
We are thrilled that the major policy proposed by WLD at the Policy Day in January has now been announced by Nick Clegg as party policy. We proposed that the Income Tax threshold should be raised to the minimum wage level to allow working people to keep more of their wages. Nick has said that the Lib Dems would raise the threshold to £10,000 which would mean everyone who earns £10,000 or more would be £705. a year better off. This will particularly benefit many women who are often amongst the lowest earners.
