On Thursday evening, around two hundred local people came together to protest in Woking town centre against the Prime Minister's recent attack on parliamentary democracy.

Following Prime Minister Boris Johnson's decision last week to suspend Parliament to force through a No Deal Brexit, there have been widespread protests throughout the country. People have expressed shock and anger, deeming his move to be a 'Coup'. Woking's 'Stop the Coup' protest took place on the 5th September, when about two hundred people protested in Gloucester Square and Jubilee Square in the town centre.

Boris Johnson undermines democracy while Woking's MP stands by.

Earlier this week, the Queen agreed to Boris Johnson's demand to suspend Parliament and thereby deny democratic debate at one of the most critical times in our country's history.

Councillor Will Forster, Lib Dem Parliamentary Spokesperson, said:

Dear Jonathan,

The decision by Boris Johnson to suspend Parliament in order to stop opposition to a No Deal Brexit is undemocratic.

Woking voted Remain in the 2016 referendum. Our Borough does not support Brexit, especially a chaotic and damaging No Deal Brexit.

Will you stand up to Boris Johnson and do everything you can to stop a damaging No Deal Brexit, including the option of voting against the Government in a vote of no confidence?

A General Election is coming and we need your help!

It will be no surprise to you that we are gearing up for a snap General Election when we will have an excellent chance to unseat Jonathan Lord, Tory MP for Woking.

Part of our planning includes support for our Executive Officers and their portfolios.

Sarah Wollaston joins the Lib Dems

The Lib Dems have a brand new MP - Dr Sarah Wollaston, a former Conservative MP in Devon.

Sarah Wollaston decided that the best way that she can serve the interests of her constituents was by joining the Lib Dems. Sarah is a fierce anti-Brexit and health campaigner who has had enough of the politics of nationalism and populism, and wants to support the Lib Dems to deliver an alternative vision for our country.

Lib Dems win Brecon and Radnorshire

Jane Dodds and the Lib Dems won the Brecon and Radnorshire by-election on Thursday 1st August.

This result proves again that the Lib Dems are back and are a huge force to be reckoned with in British politics.

The result in Brecon and Radnorshire shows that the country does not have to settle for Boris Johnson or Jeremy Corbyn. We have burst Boris Johnson's bubble in the first week of his premiership.

Liberal Democrats were shocked when not a single Conservative supported their own leader during a no confidence vote last week (Thursday 25th July). "By sitting on their hands the Conservative Group abdicated responsibility" said Lib Dem Leader Ann-Marie Barker.

A motion of no confidence was moved in the Council Leader and when it became clear no other Conservative was to be put forward the Liberal Democrats could not support an action that would throw the Council into chaos.

Lib Dems persuade Woking Council to act on Climate change

On Thursday 25th July 2019 Woking Borough Council unanimously agreed the Lib Dem motion to declare a climate emergency and aim to become carbon neutral by 2030.

In the first Full Council meeting since Woking Council went to No Overall Control, the Lib Dems successfully persuaded Councillors to declare a climate emergency and start to draft an ambitious plan to reduce carbon emissions. The Council, its wholly-owned Thameswey companies and contractors will now plan to go carbon neutral by 2030.
