Basingstoke Lib Dems head to Bournemouth Conference
On Saturday 19th September, Liberal Democrats from Basingstoke will be heading to Bournemouth for the Party's
Autumn Conference. Those attending include Janice Spalding. This will be the first Conference since the General
Election and members will be using the Conference to boost the Lib Dem Fighback in Basingstoke.
Janice Spalding, who was Parliamentary Candidate for Basingstoke at the General Election, is aiming to
take part in debates about Creating safe and legal routes for refugees, Securing a global treaty on Climate change and Delivering the Housing Britain needs.
"Liberal Democrats need to rebuild after the General Election," said Janice Spalding. "The Lib Dem Fightback is already
underway and I will be looking to use Conference to help us boost our campaigning in Basingstoke.
"The Conservatives have swung to the Right since winning their narrow majority at the Election. On the Economy, Deficit
Reduction, the Refugee Crisis, Benefits, Europe, Human Rights and Taxes we have seen the Conservatives abandon
the centre ground.
And Labour are rushing to the Left. Under Jeremy Corbyn, Labour have shredded any economic credibility they may
have had.
"Now more than ever Britain needs a strong Liberal voice of reason, economic sense, tolerance and compassion. I am
determined to be that voice in Basingstoke and I will be there at Conference to help build that strong
Liberal voice across the whole country."
