In may days of campaigning as a parliamentary candidate the aim was to have a "parliamentary spokesman" (sorry about the sexism: it was the 60s, then the 80s) or PPC in every constituency, making sure through the local press and organisations that the electorate were well aware of the Liberal alternative.

This crisis has blown a hole in the status quo and we should not let the moment pass. My fear is that Labour will be to timid and the Liberal Democrats will get bogged down in detail. We need a united front for for a People's Enquiry into the way we allow ourselves to be ruled.Peter Wrigleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16481117156930677255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4732407426313451205.post-52955180184635217912022-10-18T16:57:02.230+01:002022-10-18T16:57:02.230+01:00Economic and constitutional reforms should be radi...Economic and constitutional reforms should be radically discussed by the party to be put to serious debate at our spring conferance.We can start putting out ideas beforehand.We are now at the beginning of a new era.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
