Berman stood for election to Parliament as Welsh Liberal Democrat candidate for Cardiff South and Penarth in 2001, and Rhondda in 1997, coming third on each occasion.

The local elections of 2008 saw the Liberal Democrats under Berman's leadership increase their representation, winning new seats in the east (Trowbridge), west (Llandaff) and south of the city (Butetown). Under Berman's leadership, the Liberal Democrats gained their largest representation in Cardiff for over a century.

In the 2012 council elections, the Liberal Democrats lost control of Cardiff Council to Welsh Labour, and Berman also lost his seat after two recounts.

Berman was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the 2013 New Year Honours for services to local government and the community in Cardiff.
