The Liberal Democrats exist to build and safeguard a fair, free and open society, in which we seek to balance the fundamental values of liberty, equality and community, and in which no-one shall be enslaved by poverty, ignorance or conformity.
Watford Parliamentary Constituency covers all of the Watford Borough Council area and a part of Three Rivers District Council. The Liberal Democrats currently control both Watford Borough Council and Three Rivers District Council with substantial majorities.
In 2002, Dorothy Thornhill was elected as the first directly elected Mayor of Watford. She was re-elected in 2006 with over 50% of the vote. At the 2005 General Election, Liberal Democrat Sal Brinton came within 1,100 of unseating the Labour MP and becoming MP for Watford.
The Liberal Democrats continue to campaign across Watford for local people. With more councillors than both Labour and the Conservatives put together, the Liberal Democrats are the clear challengers in the Watford constituency at this General Election.

Welcoming the decision of the European Parliament today to set up the new European External Action Service, Andrew Duff, Liberal Democrat MEP for the East of England, called for the EU to start a real debate on the content of foreign policy. "Now we have Europe speaking with one voice, we have to decide precisely what it is we want to say", he told the Parliament's plenary sitting in Strasbourg. "What we now need is an argument. If we fail to compare, contrast and contest each other's national foreign policies there will never be a common foreign, security and defence policy."
