Why me?
I have been a member of Federal Conference Committee since 2023. I am also a Vice Convener of the Scottish Lib Dems Conference Committee. I am experienced in chairing debates, scrutinising policy and helping to make our party conferences run smoothly.
My Priorities for Federal Conference Committee:
• Accessibility - We need to do better to make our conferences affordable for members, including options for making online participation more interactive and attractive.
• Member-Led Policy - I will continue to fight to put members’ motions forward onto the agenda, and provide more training and support for members to draft good quality policies for submission.
• Accountability - Our motion selection process should remain transparent, with clear feedback given on why selection decisions have been made.
• Working Hard - I am a very proactive member of FCC, taking on whatever tasks need doing over the conference weekend. I have always been happy to take on the less glamorous tasks to help out our hardworking stewards and staff.

![Vote Fraser Graham For FCC
My Record of Action:
Since joining FCC in 2023 as Scottish Representative, I have:
• Spoken up during agenda setting meetings to promote member submitted policies and challenge the increasing prevalence of MP submitted motions being taken to conference.
• Provided drafting advice to several members to help with their policy proposals, both formally as part of the FCC drafting advice service and informally when approached directly.
• Attended every Federal Conference during my tenure on FCC, chairing and aiding debates, staffing the FCC help desk, assisting the stewards, exhibitors and attendees, and providing key input during daily FCC meetings.
• Created and delivered an updated training session to members on how to write a conference motion, providing valuable insight into what makes a good conference motion and the common mistakes which are often made.
• Consistently stood up for the rights of the diverse membership attending our conferences, raising issues affecting accessibility and voting consistently to protect the well being of our Trans and Non-Binary members attending conference.

I'm standing for direct election to the Federal Conference Committee (I'm currently on there as Scottish Rep) and for election to Federal Council.
I still need a few nominations for the latter, if you've got a moment to do so.
Manifesti to follow.

Excellent article. Leadership of all political parties could do with internalising this - yes, even my own. @libdems.org.uk have so far resisted doing this about immigration but they're damn sure doing it with trans people.
I wrote this on the most consistently terrible, and fatal, idea in centrist politics today. On Fanta, rebadging, and why attempting to win votes from fascists is morally disgusting and politically suicidal.

Went to see wicked. I was a bit preturbed at the start when Ariana was doing every note the highest as possible, but actually as it went on I realised that I had clearly underestimated how well cast both she and Cynthia were as Glinda and Elphaba.
