Liberal Democrats welcome the RESET referendum campaign
On behalf of Liverpool’s Liberal Democrat Group, I have welcomed the decision of RESET to change the wording of their citywide petition to include a straight run off between the two most different forms of governance. The Mayoral model is … Continue reading
