For new members: The Lowdown - How the Lib Dems work and what we have to offer

Welcome to the thousands of people who have joined the Liberal Democrats over the past month. This is basically a repeat of a post that I did last year when many joined the party in the wake of the election result in the hope that it might be useful to tell you a little bit about how our party works and give you a bit of an idea of the opportunities open to you. If you are not yet a member, read it and think it sounds appealing, sign up here.
