This is just a heads up that the survey of members’ views about the General Election campaign that Sal Brinton mentioned in her post the other day has now been sent out. If you are a member of the party and haven’t found it, it comes from “James Gurling – Liberal Democrats” and is entitled General Election Review. Check your spam if it hasn’t appeared.

James is a member of the Federal Executive and is Chair of the Party’s Campaigns and Communications Committee.

His email contains a unique link to a wide-ranging survey which asks you to give an assessment about what the party did well and badly – and for observations and comparisons with other parties’ campaigns.

This is what the email said:

After every major set of elections the party, as you would expect, conducts a review of what worked and what did not. The results of last week’s elections were obviously bitterly disappointing. But in the same week, we have welcomed over 11,000 new members to our party. The opportunity provided by these new members makes it all the more important that we understand what did and what did not work in our 2015 campaign.

This review is going to be conducted by the party’s Campaigns and Communications Committee.  In addition to myself and Sal Brinton, the CCC team currently includes Candy Piercy, Martin Tod, Neil Fawcett and Tim Razzall. We will take submissions from across the party, from members, volunteers, staff and candidates.

Completing the survey will take approximately 15 minutes, and your answers will make a real contribution to our work. No matter how you were involved in the campaign, or even if you were not actively involved at all, we want to know what you think.
