The regional party needs to make a number of changes to its constitution. Primarily, these are the result of changes made to the English Party's Constitution in July 2009. They relate to the relationship between the party and Liberal Democrat council groups, and came into effect immediately after the General Election. In particular, regional parties have been given the task of 'recognising' Liberal Democrat groups so that they can use the party's name. The majority of the changes to our constitution are in Sections 4 and 6.

With massive spending cuts being forced on the coalition government by Labour's financial mismanagement, particular care needs to be taken that no area is left unexamined by the need to ensure expenditure is rationalised. Yet Conservative Defence Secretary, Liam Fox, still seems fixated by the need for a replacement to the Trident missile submarine system, at a cost likely to be well in excess of the current estimate of £20 billion. It seems he was preparing a defence review which omits any discussion of the need to cut the program - given its dubious benefits and lack of relevance to current defence needs - yet Liberal Democrats have been successful in forcing the coalition to put the cost of a Trident replacement back in the defence budget where it belongs, rather than being met from general Treasury funding. If he is serious about making savings, then these should start with this outdated piece of cold war kit.
