I am unilaterally declaring this day Celebrate your Lib Dem Organiser Day. It’s 6 days out, most will be surviving on energy drinks and riso ink fumes and there’s still a big push to come.
Not only will they be sorting out the canvassing packs and delivery runs for the weekend, they will be organising polling day, making sure all the committee rooms are well equipped, that there are enough people around to get all the jobs done. Making sure our voters get to the polls is absolutely critical over the next few days. If you haven’t already arranged to do so, make an organiser’s life easier by helping out in one of our target seats so that we can make absolutely sure that we can say at 10pm on Thursday night that we couldn’t possibly have done any more.
Our organisers have been laying the foundation for this campaign for a very long time. It’s not been 38 days at full pelt, it’s been more like 450. They’ve been building the team, recruiting members, leading the door-knocking, keeping the candidates sane, organising the stake boards, designing the literature, meeting all sorts of unreasonable deadlines which require pulling all-nighters. There is a weird law of nature that stipulates that the bigger the delivery that arrives at the office, the fewer people are there to receive it, so when 40,000 tabloids arrive, they often have to lug them all into the office by themselves. And not all offices are on the ground floor. They have eaten, slept, breathed this election with little time for anything else like having a life.
