Social Liberal Forum

The Social Liberal Forum exists to foster debate within and beyond the Liberal Democrats, with the aim of developing social liberal solutions and approaches which reflect these principles and which find popular support.

James Graham, a member of the Forum's governing council, was responsible for this amendment, accepted without dissent, to the motion put to the Birmingham special conference at which the Liberal Democrats endorsed the coalition: “Conference calls for Liberal Democrats to work constructively in government to ensure that the the net income and wealth inequality gap is reduced significantly over the course of this parliament.” His speech is here.

The Forum has also sponsored a motion to be debated at the Liberal Democrat Federal Conference: "Ensuring Fairness in a time of Austerity". The Autumn Conference starts in Liverpool on Saturday 18th September.
