It is obvious that we, Liberal Democrats, are excellent local campaigners, as evidenced with us winning over 72 MPs in the recent 2024 General Election. However, there is one clear problem present with the strategy – we are too reliant on local champions, such people who are great for local constituencies, but often weak on a national level. We don’t always have campaigns that everyone across Great Britain resonates with. Despite having over fourteen times more MPs than Reform UK, our activists struggle for national media coverage. Meanwhile, figures like Mr Farage continue to dominate the media, securing endless airtime for their racist agenda.
Ed Davey and all party activists need to take on a national issue; to campaign and fight an issue that a majority of the public will be interested in, an issue which will help the us economically, which will act as a buffer zone to the chaos of a second Trump presidency, which will give the UK refuge the future economic uncertainty – The European Union.
In the 2019 general election campaign, it was our main focus to “cancel Brexit”, back then we didn’t have as much as a voice of change in parliament – with only 12 MPs not the massive 72 we now boast, but why did we stop?
