Vote Lib Dem



Liberal Democrat is the closest party to my political and passionate beliefs that I am going to get that also has an electoral chance. I'm being pragmatic, and I really do believe they can make a difference to this country across the board. Just at the moment they are sidelined too much. The other parties are getting away with murder. So I am voting Liberal Democrat. And maybe next time with better election rules I can think about voting differently.

So vote, register to vote if you haven't already. You have until just about the end of March, do so here, it's so important: https://www.aboutmyvote.co.uk/register_to_vote/electoral_registration_applica.aspx

You fill in an electronic form, print it off and post it to the address it provides of your local electoral office. 

Even if you are not sure if you are registered or not, this can tell you for sure. Remember you are never registered forever, they continually renew the list every year. 

I really hope you do vote, whoever you vote for, because voting does matter and it's been hard fought for over the years. And if you need a prompt, :), vote LibDem, they really do have a chance this year to keep the other parties in balance and to make our country better, to keep the poison of the other 2 away. 

Here is their website:

And this nifty little website is where you can check up on what your current MP has been up to. Just put in your postcode and fire away:

A day in hand, why not

A Day In Hand is this great campaign that started about this time last year.

Same-sex hand holding (Sshh): Our silent revolution











 
This campaign's aim is to INSPIRE and SUPPORT same-sex couples who want to hold their partner's hand in public.


"...when you're trying just to be thought of as a human being, the smallest victories feel like huge ones."

You don't have to fight to change the world. Promote love and equality by the simple act of holding hands. 


Direct Action. One of those great tactics of activist groups. You normally see it attached to breaking the law and wilfully getting yourself in trouble to prove a point. Well, this is a bit more simple, depending on where you live of course, and that can make a huge difference! But it can make such a difference ... to yourself, others and society. 
Support this great cause.
