Welcome to the website of Staffordshire Moorlands Liberal Democrats

Staffordshire Moorlands is the most northerly and most attractive constituency in the West Midlands. It is formed by the majority of wards of Staffordshire Moorlands District, as well as the Newchapel ward of Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough.

Liberal Democrats are now in 2nd place to the Tories in Staffordshire Moorlands Constituency, beating Labour in both the County and Euro polls on 4th June 2009. Henry Jebb, Parliamentary Spokesperson, said, "Labour under Gordon Brown has shown it can't govern the country effectively and now voters locally have deserted them. Only the Liberal Democrats can challenge the Tories to win here."

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.
