EURef: *Anyone* can help by making calls through Connect

phone picture zoomed in

Local party Connect managers can create “phone bank only” Connect accounts for anyone who wants to help win a Remain vote by making calls through our system.

They can be anywhere in the world and it does not matter if they normally support another party.  All they need is a phone, a computer and a genuine wish to help Remain win.

Accounts for this purpose can be set to expire on 24 June.

Don’t worry about “giving away secrets”.  The way Connect / VAN works is well documented online as it is used by centre-left parties all over the world.

Having said that, it would not be surprising if Leave trolls asked for accounts and then purposely entered false data (even though that is a criminal offence).

I would only create an account for a non-member of the Liberal Democrats if I know them personally or if I have been able to make online checks so I am satisfied that they are what and who they say they are.

After a person has decided to help one campaign through the Liberal Democrats they might just decide to help again.

    Like most members I am getting about three or four e-mails a day from the party about campaigning in the referendum. None yet from a woman!
