  • Jo Swinson: the New Liberal Democrat Leader
    Jo Swinson: the new Liberal Democrat Leader 22 July 2019 Who is Jo Swinson? Jo Swinson was born in 1980, growing up and going to school in East Dunbartonshire, which she now represents in Parliament. Her mother was a primary school teacher while her father worked in economic development. She cites her earliest political experience as signing petitions against animal testing in the Body Shop. A Liberal Democrat supporter since she was at school, Jo joined the Liberal Democrats aged 17, while studying Management at the LSE. During her time at university, she worked as a Research Assistant for the Employers’ Forum on Disability. After graduating, Swinson moved to Hull, working as Viking FM’s Marketing & PR Manager. Aged 21, she stood against John Prescott at the 2001 general election in Hull East. Relocating back to Scotland, she worked as Marketing Manager for SpaceandPeople Plc and then as Communications Officer for the UK Public Health Association prior to her election as an MP. In 2011, she married Duncan Hames, who was the Liberal Democrat MP for Chippenham from 2010 to 2015, and is now an anti-corruption campaigner. The couple have two sons. What is Jo Swinson’s political background? Swinson was successfully elected to Parliament in 2005, winning East Dunbartonshire from Labour. In the Commons, she became a Lib Dem whip and spokesperson for culture, media and sport, before being promoted to Shadow Secretary of State for Scotland in 2006. Swinson gained additional responsibility in 2007 becoming Shadow Women and Equality Minister. She returned to the backbenches later that year, before becoming Shadow Minister for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs in 2008, retaining this role until the 2010 election.

  • Recommendations on Energy for the Liberal Democrat
    Recommendations on Energy for the Liberal Democrat 2015 Election Campaigning from the Green Lib Dem Policy Group The Liberal Democrats have done more to put sound environmental policies into practice than any other UK Party. As Green Liberal Democrats we wish to help maintain that status and help the Party exploit it in election campaigning. To do that we need to alert the general public to the importance of environmental issues and inform them of our policies and achievement in this area. A significant portion of our vote comes from the environmentally aware. It is therefore important that we give enough prominence to our green credentials, and that we defend ourselves from the efforts to detract from them, whether by the Green Party with the intention of taking our votes, or by the well-intentioned. The student fees fiasco illustrated the importance of publically addressing criticism with reasoned argument and of providing campaigners with the facts they need to counter doorstep criticism. The failure to give a timely explanation why our MPs voted as they did, and what the students gained as a result, not only lost us vast numbers of council seats, it also enabled our opponents to continue to portray us as untrustworthy. Introduction to our Energy Policy Combating Climate Change, while maintaining quality of life and the environment, is our overriding principle. Hence our policy aims are to Reduce Carbon dioxide emissions. Maintain a secure energy supply. Support a sustainable and a healthy economy. Target achieving a near Zero Carbon Economy by 2050, with Zero Carbon Electricity by 2020 as an intermediate target.
