Gloria Adebo
for Rutherglen constituency
Welcome to Rutherglen & Hamilton West Liberal Democrats
We champion the freedom, dignity and well-being of individuals, we acknowledge and respect their right to freedom of conscience and their right to develop their talents to the full. We aim to disperse power, to foster diversity and to nurture creativity.
We trust local people to make decisions about their lives and their communities. People should have the power, flexibility and resources to change things for the better.
We believe federalism is the best future for Scotland and will continue to campaign for that.
The Liberal Democrats are the most pro-European party in British politics. We truly believe that we are stronger together, and internationalism will always be one of our core values.
We are internationalists because some goals are too big for nation-states to achieve on their own. Climate change and a healthy environment are two.
