MP for Mid Dorset and North Poole
“A party-loyal backbencher with a centre-right tilt who rarely rebels but has notably low voting attendance.”
Vikki Slade is the Liberal Democrat MP for Mid Dorset and North Poole, elected in 2024. She currently serves on the Justice Committee and has previously been the Lib Dem spokesperson for Housing, Communities and Local Government, as well as serving on several policy-related committees. Her voting record shows a strong party loyalty with a centre-right stance.
She votes in line with her party (100% loyalty), but her attendance is notably low (14%). On policy, she generally backs Universal Credit while tending to vote against workers' protections and against trade union powers, bus regulation, protest rights, mental health services and VAT changes. She has voted for prison sentencing and for transgender rights, with a mixed approach on renter protections.
Her register of interests includes multiple miscellaneous entries and gifts/hospitality from UK sources, plus employment earnings (including ongoing paid employment), donations and other support for her activities as an MP, and visits outside the UK.
