Welcome to Lib Dem Voice

By the founding editor | Sat 9th September 2006 - 1:00 pm

Hi and welcome to Liberal Democrat Voice.

I’m Rob Fenwick – I’m a Lib Dem activist and supporter, and I was the party’s Internet Campaigns Officer during the last general election.

I’ve set this site up under the caption ‘our place to talk’ – it’s a place for activists and party members to have a conversation. Now I’ve got it up and running I hope you, my fellow activists, will bring the place to life.

The Guardian: “Labour slumps in council byelections”

By the founding editor | Fri 8th September 2006 - 2:45 pm

Congratulations to new Councillor, Sharon Wilson, who scored what the Guardian are calling a “landslide victory” in Poulton North, Warrington Borough. This result is a gain for the party, and a crushing defeat for Labour in that area.

You’ll find a Guardian write-up here, and the party’s view is here.

Presidential polling

By the founding editor | Fri 8th September 2006 - 1:04 pm

It was always my intention to launch Lib Dem Voice towards the end of August (so I’m running a bit late!), and with a poll on the Presidency.

It wouldn’t be right to do that without pointing out that a few weeks ago I was pipped to the post by Stephen Tall, who launched a poll on just this topic. I did consider scrapping the Voice poll, but on reflection, I’m proceeding – but offering a slightly different choice of names.
