The Northern Ireland Liberal Democrats is a local party of the Liberal Democrats that operates in Northern Ireland.[12] Unlike its counterparts in England, Scotland and Wales, the Northern Ireland party is not a state party within the federal Liberal Democrats (though there does exist constitutional provision for it to be established so by conference) but a local party similar to constituency parties in the rest of the UK.
