VOTE LIBERAL DEMOCRAT

Some dates for your diary:

5 MAY- General election. This is important because we live in a democracy and for the Government to do anything on your behalf you have to have your say and vote for who you want to represent you! As a clause, reading over the official documents from the Government, (Check them out) your MP (whomever they are and whichever party they represent) have a number of powers to represent you in Government. I won't list them here, you can check them out for yourself.

Now, if you don't like reading too much, check out the 10 reasons why you should vote liberal democrat this election.

Greenpeace had to say this about the Liberal democrats:
“When it comes to precipitating a public debate, only the Liberal Democrats of the main parties have been prepared to take climate change to the polls.” Simon Reddy, Policy and solutions director, Greenpeace UK (Independent 18/4/05)

In fact, they have even joined the blogging set with a campaign blog. Check out:

1 JULY-White Band day. With a (hopefully) new government in power, or even an older one (whom we have put pressure on already (see last post). This is the day (aside from last friday's march) when we can show our solidarity for fair trade, trade justice and making poverty history.

Last fridays march was very cool I must say. The speeches at the beginning were quite moving, the beginning of the vigil outside Downing Street was also very cool, especially the minute silence at midnight.

I also got to see 'The Take' by Naomi Klein and Avi Lewis which was VERY, VERY cool. Another film I recommend to you all. The free screenings were so popular, after we talked to the cinema manager he chose to show them again and then a third time so everyone who had queued could see them.

So we showed our solidarity with the rest of the world and (due to the fact most of the events were WAY more popular than anyone had expected. There were over double the number of people expected. The biggest trade march EVER! I call that a sucess :)

So there we go, a day when I stood up to be counted. Just like on May 5th and July 1st. I hope to see you all standing with me :)

Ram. Not just ranting on the net anymore :)
