I've already told one local MP (who I helped get elected originally) that I won't be helping in his constituency again, but fortunately another local MP (Julian Huppert) DID do the right thing, so I can still campaign for him, and also for PPCs who I trust to vote Liberal not Clegg.Belindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02631306198356489758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3881762807913180318.post-46528944984266139492013-03-12T09:50:25.971+00:002013-03-12T09:50:25.971+00:00Money talks, bullshit walks.

I think there is a problem with party line, and I think more MP's should take Simon Hughes comments on they need the conference to put pressure on them seriously!Colin Gellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07794967633791142890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3881762807913180318.post-53768750538975236372013-03-11T12:32:32.101+00:002013-03-11T12:32:32.101+00:00I'm afraid I'd be with Caron on this one a...I'm afraid I'd be with Caron on this one as well. Not least as, living in Bristol, we will be defending a sitting MP with no significant prospect of gaining in the any of the other three seats.<br /><br />That said, it would be a factor if I were travelling somewhere - and I've never been to Cambridge...oneexwidowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06574357521257043728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3881762807913180318.post-11152605115027113062013-03-11T11:33:35.346+00:002013-03-11T11:33:35.346+00:00I understand how annoyed you are about this, Mark....I understand how annoyed you are about this, Mark. I am, too. The question I'd have to ask myself, though, is do I want to see a Tory or Labour MP, who would no doubt vote the same way, in place of a good, decent Liberal Democrat constituency MP?<br /><br />The answer would be, always, no.<br /><br />But there does need to be a way of showing the leadership that we are serious.<br /><br />I wonder if, the next time there's a National Day of Action on fairer tax or whatever, people could be encouraged not to take part to show them how important we activists are. I'd be more comfortable with that than trying to harm the individual chances of particular MPs.

The libe...I don't know what the fuss is about.<br /><br />The liberal democrats are not liberal, never have been in my lifetime, you just have different ideas as to what should and shouldn't be allowed compared to some of the other parties.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
