Preamble to the party constitution
The
Liberal Democrats exist to build and safeguard a fair, free and open society, in
which we seek to balance the fundamental values of liberty, equality and
community, and in which no-one shall be enslaved by poverty, ignorance or
conformity. We champion the freedom, dignity and well-being of individuals, we
acknowledge and respect their right to freedom of conscience and their right to
develop their talents to the full. We aim to disperse power, to foster diversity
and to nurture creativity. We believe that the role of the state is to enable
all citizens to attain these ideals, to contribute fully to their communities
and to take part in the decisions which affect their lives.
