The Liberal Democrats in Harrogate: Decisions from the conference floor
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The conference called for:
Co-operation with people of other parties and to develop ideas and campaign.
The break-up of monopolies in the utilities, greater tendering, franchising and regulation.
Denmark to reconsider its referendum on the Maastricht treaty, while deploring the UK's opt-outs on social policy and the EMU.
Gypsies and others with a genuinely nomadic life to be given adequate mobile home sites.
Serbia and Montenegro to comply with the London Agreement, cease ethnic cleansing and bring those involved in promulgation of atrocities to trial.
A ban on hunting with hounds.
Improved support for women's refuges.
