WELCOME TO THE WEBSITE OF THE LIBERAL INTERNATIONAL BRITISH GROUP

MESSAGE FROM MALCOLM BRUCE MP, PRESIDENT OF LIBERAL INTERNATIONAL BRITISH GROUP

Liberal International British Group works actively with Liberal and Democratic parties and other sister organisations throughout the world, particularly through our membership of Liberal International, the world-wide federation of liberal political parties. We also try to help newly-formed liberal groupings to move their countries towards better governance and respect for human rights.

The aim of our website is to provide information on our activities and those of Liberal International across the world and to promote a better understanding of international liberal issues beyond the confines of the European Union.

I invite those of you who are not yet members to join, attend our Forums and foreign visits, and read our magazine InterLib, which records what we do and what liberal thinkers are saying.
