VOTE! For what you believe in

by admin on 5 May, 2010

Polling stations are open May 6th from 7 AM to 10 PMQueen Edith’s voters vote at St Jamse’s Church Wulfstan Way and St John’s Church, Hills Road (opposite Homerton College).

The Liberal Democrats have opened up this election and we have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to reform our political system to one that is fair and representative of the British people – and the people of South Cambridgeshire.  Vote for what you believe in!
The Independent writes today:

The surge in support for the Liberal Democrats has unlocked something precious: a feeling among the public that, for the first time in a generation, a radical overhaul of our political settlement could be possible. 

Despite the drama of recent weeks, there remains a considerable risk that Britain could wake up on Friday morning to discover that we are in for four or five more years of ‘business as usual’ politics under a Conservative government.

The Liberal Democrats are longstanding and convincing champions of civil liberties, sound economics, international co-operation on the great global challenges, and of course, fundamental electoral reform.  That is why we argue that there is a strong case  for progressively minded voters to lend their support to the Liberal Democrats whereever there is a clear opportunity for that party to win.

It is time to use our rotten voting system (for what we fervently hope will be the last occasion) to change the system – and deliver a new politics.
