Description
The LJMU Liberal Democrats Society is the official student hub for politically engaged
individuals who align with liberal values or are simply curious about the role liberalism plays in shaping the UK's political landscape. Affiliated with the national Young Liberals, the society provides an inclusive, informed, and welcoming space to explore ideas, get involved in political activism, and develop as a future changemaker — all while forming connections with fellow students and the wider liberal movement.
About Us
We are the official student representation of the Liberal Democrats at Liverpool John Moores University, here to promote liberal values, champion open dialogue, and encourage political engagement among students. Whether you're a lifelong supporter of the Liberal Democrats, someone looking to explore centrist or progressive politics, or simply curious about how politics affects your life and future — you're welcome here. We believe in equality, civil liberties, sustainability, and a fairer society for all. Our society offers opportunities to learn more about local and national political issues, discuss ideas openly, and be part of something bigger through our affiliation with the Young Liberals, the official youth wing of the Liberal Democrats.
Key Information
We host regular meetings throughout each term, usually taking place on campus in accessible, friendly spaces. These sessions include policy discussions, campaign planning, guest speakers, and laid-back socials. You’ll also find us attending or supporting wider events run by the Young Liberals or local party branches, giving you the chance to connect with students and political thinkers from across the country. Dates, times, and any updates will be shared via our Instagram and mailing list, so be sure to follow us to stay informed.
Why Us?
Joining the LJMU Liberal Democrats Society means more than being politically active — it means being part of a community that cares about progressive change, open-minded discussion, and standing up for what's right. Whether you're interested in campaigning, policy-making, or simply expanding your understanding of the UK’s political system, our society gives you a platform to grow. It’s also a great opportunity to meet like-minded students, boost your confidence in debate and public speaking, and make connections that could shape your future in politics, law, public affairs, or advocacy. Whatever your background or level of experience, if you care about fairness, freedom, and the future — we’d love to meet you.
