It is probably fair to say that the biggest agenda items for radical liberals are:
- F8: Universal Basic Income (at 19:50 on Friday 25th Sept)
- F23: Europe (at 17:25 on Sunday 27th September)
UNIVERSAL BASIC INCOME
Regrettably, the executive of the Radical Association feel it has become necessary to issue a public statement on the events which led to the cancellation of the planned Q&A event with the candidates in the 2020 Lib Dem leadership election.

There has recently been widespread speculation that some politicians are considering defecting to the Liberal Democrats. We of course welcome the prospect of strengthening the Parliamentary Party, but believe that it is absolutely necessary that any prospective defector should hold beliefs compatible with Liberal Democrat principles, as expressed in the preamble to our constitution.
On an excellent 61% turnout, we've now elected the new committee of the Radical Association! Your new committee members are as follows:
CHAIR - Alisdair Calder McGregor
DIRECTOR - April Preston
TREASURER - Olly Craven
ACCESS & DIVERSITY - Andy Hinton
EXECUTIVE MEMBERS - Joe Toovey, Pushkin Defyer, Ross Stalker, George Potter
Thanks to everyone who stood for election and everyone who voted!
