PARLIAMENTARY CANDIDATES ASSOCIATION
The Parliamentary Candidates Association exists to be the voice of Liberal
Democrat candidates. The PCA aims to attract, encourage and sustain a
talented team of parliamentary candidates for Westminster, European, Scottish
parliaments and Welsh assembly elections.
The PCA aims to
equip individuals with the skills to become approved Liberal Democrat
candidates, get selected, win elections and, not least, to be key members of
existing and future Liberal Democrats ruling groups and
governments.
The PCA provides support, advice, training and
briefing for all approved candidates. It organises conferences on party policy
and media relations and works closely with the Liberal Democrat Candidates'
Office to provide publications and training.
The PCA also
represents the interests of candidates on internal party committees, organises
an annual reception in the House of Commons and receptions/training at the
Party's federal conferences.
Premium paying members (sub. £25 p.a.)
receive up to 8 issues of Parliamentary Briefing each year along with other
privileges. Further information about the PCA and electronic editions of
the Parliamentary Campaigner are available by registering on the PCA website www.libdempca.org.uk.
