Make authoritarian MPs pay at the ballot box

There’s only one place to be at 8pm on Friday. It’s in Hall 8b at the Birmingham ICC for the latest in the legendary series of Lib Dem Voice fringe meetings*:

Many MPs have a record of repeatedly voting for authoritarian measures in Parliament. But will they suffer for that at the ballot box?

Come and hear how we can make authoritarian votes in Parliament a vote loser for MPs on general election day – and see the new Liberal Democrat Voice website which will help do just that.

Speakers:
Paul Burstow MP (Chief Whip)
Bridget Fox (PPC Islington South and Finsbury)
Mark Pack (Co-editor, Lib Dem Voice)
Alex Wilcock (Former Vice-Chair, Federal Policy Committee)

Chair: Helen Duffett (PPC Romford, Lib Dem Voice Contributing Editor)

    Sadly, I shall be just finishing my shift at work and unable to attend. I demand to see pictures of group hugs, though.

    Would photos of us being arrested by the police for taking photos suffice?

    Nope. Daddy Alex is really good at hugging. I nominate Helen to take the photos. I want to see you getting a good squish :P

    If I’m taking the photos I won’t get a hug :-(

    Sorry I’m manning the fort up here in Scotland, back on letter box stuffing duty this weekend after conferencing away last weekend.

    Frees up some space for someone else though so no excuses.
