GE 2017 & Moving Forward - Stone de Croze - 06-08-2017 Firstly best wishes to all candidates standing under the Liberal Party banner today. With the snap General Election being called in the middle of the local election campaign, obviously it was going to prove difficult for our party. Therefore I think we have done exceptionally well in fielding the number of candidates we have and the campaigns each candidate has put together. Whatever the results, this election has to be seen as a step on the path to re-establishing the Liberal Party and building for the local elections in forthcoming years. Recruitment is a priority, which will come through raising awareness and maintaining the membership. Areas I see important are:
The present situation is with the Lib Dems in EU-Nowhere Land, the Greens adopting placard politics and flirting with the likes of the SWP, whilst Labour are increasingly being influenced by a Trotskyite insurgence, there is an opportunity to re-establish a strong Liberal Party. Clearly with what the country is faced with we are needed! RE: GE 2017 & Moving Forward - NeilT - 06-08-2017 Agree with these points. Social Media platforms are key these days and something I use a lot. The result for us is not going to be massive, as its a blood bath out there between the cons and labour. I am sitting in a very safe conservative seat, and UKIP not standing so the Con vote is going to go high. Looking forward to catching up with sleep over the weekend!
