Welcome to Norwich Liberal Democrats

As a strong opposition party on Norwich City Council, the Liberal Democrats continue to offer a distinct and positive alternative to the minority Labour administration.

At Parliamentary level, Liberal Democrats are the clear challengers to sacked Labour Home Secretary Charles Clarke in Norwich. At the 2005 General Election, the Lib Dems came within 3,700 votes of winning the seat, while the Conservatives came a poor third. The Green Party were in fourth place with only 7 votes in every hundred. In the recent city council elections Labour finished fourth in Norwich South and in the European elections, the Liberal Democrats increased our vote in the region while Labour fell to fourth place, behind the Liberal Democrats, the Conservatives and the UK Independence Party. Commentators have been predicting for some time that the seat may well be won by Liberal Democrat Simon Wright at the next General Election election. Simon's personal website is at www.simonwright.org.uk
