Lib Dem Podcast: Recent Episodes
Various LibDem Elves
A casual look about all things Liberal Democrat in the weird and wonderfully sandalled world of LibDem Land. Started by Richard Kemp & John Potter but with guests from everywhere.Follow us on Twitter and Instagram @libdempod
Do you believe Britain should have more directly elected officials? Have Police and Crime Commissioners been a failure or is there a middle ground that can be reached?
In this episode David and John are joined by Els Otterman an elected water board representative from Water Natuurlijk in The Netherlands.
Given the dire state of British water infrastructure, and the massive campaign the Lib Dem have been doing on the sewage scandal, we wanted to hear from a country that is doing things a little differently.
Huge thanks to Els for taking the time to join us.

How many of you have heard of Alan Hackett? Probably none of you. For over 50 years Alan has been fighting the liberal cause from parliamentary by-elections, the founding of the Liberal Democrats and over 30 years in council chambers.
There will be lots of people like Alan in our party who go under the radar in places where Liberal Democrats have never been the strongest political party.
Losing by 6 votes, winning by 1 vote, campaigning from the Suez Crisis to the Covid pandemic. We are very grateful to hear Alan's story.
