The Liberal Democrat Voice Awards are but five days away. At 10 pm on Saturday 14 September, in Castle 2 of the Crowne Plaza, with cash bar on hand, and an imaginative dress code, the best in blogging, campaigning, social media and politics in general will be feted in a ceremony filled with razzmatazz, glitz and glamour.
Very soon, our Members’ Forum will be e-mailed with the chance to vote for the majority of the awards. They will have first sight of those shortlists and will be able to pick their winner. This survey will also have questions on the likely Conference flashpoints. If you are a party member and you want a piece of his action, sign up here. If you’re not a party member, but want to join, you can do so here.
Here is the third of our shortlists being judged by our esteemed panel of judges. Today, it’s the turn of the Best Online Campaign by a Liberal Democrat. The nominees are:
Tom Brake for Save St Helier Hospital
Jennie Rigg for her questions to FPC and FCC candidates during last year’s internal elections.
Charlotte Henry, Jo Shaw and Martin Tod for No Government against the law – Liberal Democrats against secret courts
Team Eastleigh for their website and private Facebook Virtual HQ
Sam Fisk and Kavya Kaushik for Liberal Youth’s Gold Guard campaign including Today I made a difference

So happy to see us nominated but wanted to add Stace Williams and Steven Haynes to it. Particularly Stace for designing the website and photoshopping MP’s faces into 90’s boyband photos to get members phone banking.
OK, so hang on, the wording of this makes it sound like this is NOT a shortlist we get to vote on… Am I reading that wrong, or are the shortlists that have gone up so far the judged ones?
That’s right, Jennie. Members will get first view of the other shortlists when they go out, then we’ll put them up on here.
Well poo. That means I don’t get to vot e for Lynne.
You can do so for favourite minister & MP though.
I did run a successful campaign to get Mary Seacole reinstated to the national curriculum, with 36,000 signatures and a host of celebrity supporters, and took part in another successful campaign to save the General Duty in the Equality Act. Never mind, always next year…!
Lester: I knew about the campaign but didn’t know it was you. If I had known I would have nominated you when the nominations process was running. Sorry.
Lester, I wish I’d known about that – the moral of the story is to make sure things like that are nominated.
Obviously, I knew about the campaign, but I didn’t know it was you – and you won, too.
