CLD interns experience Spring Conference in Brighton

From 8-10 March, Liberal Democrats Spring Conference was held in Brighton.

Intern Kevin Cheung was born and grew up in Hong Kong, and is currently completing his final year of BA Economics and Politics at the University of Essex. From attending conference debates and seminars he said that he has now had a taste of the democratic process and learnt how party policy is made.

Intern Isabella Carter was born in Nottingham and grew up in Yunnan, China. She is pursuing International Studies BA at the University of Buckingham. She said that the Conference has given her a valuable opportunity to develop personally and she feels proud to be representing the CLDs, an organisation that upholds liberal values. Apart from manning the joint CLD and Ethnic Minority Liberal Democrat stall, she managed to take part in talks on the abolition of religious discrimination in schools and in campaigning for gender equality at a Women Liberal Democrat fringe event.

Isabella said:

"This experience has given me greater understanding of Liberal Democrat values and policies, bringing me as an individual closer than ever to the party".

Kevin added: "After Conference I will be researching on issues relating to gambling addiction and detention of unregulated workers and asylum seekers for Chinese Liberal Democrats. I am pleased to be able to make a difference".
