A brief trail for a meaty post being published this coming Tuesday: “The inside story of how the Lib Dem general election manifesto will be drawn up”.
Find out in 1,691 words the who, what and why of the party’s manifesto process, including why The Guardian couldn’t have been more wrong about Evan Harris, the key people who will matter, the divided opinions over what really happened before and at Bournemouth conference and how the manifesto may get split in two.
See you back here Tuesday, 12:20pm, servers permitting.

Fag packets at the ready, Mark!
To the general public at large, just the word “manifesto” is enough to be a total turn-off. How about this for an idea for your Marketing and Press Office staffers… how about launching the Manifesto in two, or even three, parts, Volume One ideally on a Sunday, for maximum exposure, followed up by the other instalments? You hint that the manifesto may be split into two…intrigue is mounting, are they thinking what we are thinking?
Coming out with a great raft of policy is fine for the wonks, but in this era of sound-bit reporting, deliving the whole thing in one go is too much to digest. Foreign Policy, Europe, Defence, put all that in a seperate volume. After you Vince has delivered a sermon on a tablet of stone on how to fix the economy – thats volume one, surely.
Its gone 12.30. Your’e a bit late with the inside gen, Mark…servers in a melt-down from other people wondering why you are not on time, eh?
