Some time ago I was asked to write a short guide to the Liberal Democrat policy process for those wanting to know how it works. After a bit of prodding I did eventually get around to doing it, but the people who’d asked for it then told me it was too detailed!

However I do quite often still get questions about various aspects of the process, so I thought it might be of interest, and have posted it up here. It’s only six pages, and I hope it’s quite clear, as well as comprehensive.

I do get many readers here who are not in the least bit interested in the Liberal Democrats, and clearly this is not very thrilling for you!

But for those who are, I am strongly committed to explaining our party’s internal processes, and highlighting just how open they are, so I hope for such people it may be of interest. I’m happy also to answer any follow-up questions.
