About us

Liberal Conspiracy is a politics magazine and discussion site. It works in the form of a blog with multiple authors and several sections. Our aim is to re-invigorate the liberal-left in Britain through:

1. Having an intelligent conversation about liberal-left ideas and values
2. Campaigning for liberal-left policies and causes
3. Helping people get organised

We can no longer depend solely on political parties, trade unions or fragmented single-issue lobby groups to drive liberal-left values. The internet offers new tools to organise ourselves. We want to strengthen democratic liberal-left organisations, local and national, so this movement can be sustained over the long term. We want to be that online hub of information and collaboration.
