Agenda 2020 essay #8 - What it means to be a Liberal Democrat today

It starts with you. It starts with you and your family. It starts with you and your family and your friends. It starts with you and your family and your friends and your community. It starts with you and your family and your friends and your community and your society. It starts with you and your family and your friends and your community and your society and your world. It starts with you and your family and your friends and your community and your society and your world and your future. It starts with you. It's not about doing it for you. It's certainly not about doing it to you. It's about giving you the power to do what you want for yourself.
