For the weekend: Vote or Die!!!

First election bulletin yesterday, I'm off to Somerset for the weekend

Email: andrew@andrewyoungcampaign.com , will pick up emails on Monday.

I've noticed that as the election goes on more people are getting worked up. This is understandable. Outside of London (and even inside) frustration and a lack of support leave people feeling let down.

But it's not that the NME don't work, it's that a lot hard work they do is on the wrong direction. I hope with the internet projects I have started this year there is a partial solution (more details on ConHome next week), a lasting legacy that makes our communications better in the long run.

The NME needs to look to the long run with all the work it does, and cut out anything that distracts from the key tasks of building up the capability of the grassroots to thrive. Everything we do next year should be to found a lasting change.

I hope that this year's frustration can translate into something constructive, and that whatever the result, there will be a massive change in how the NME works. Lasting change is possible, and now is the time to start it.

P.S - As I may not be able to post over the weekend, here's an educational video on the value of voting. Enjoy!! (Not Safe For Work)



P.P.S - Use the email function on the bottom of this post to send it to your friends

            I am one of the few Northern Irish members of CF in the country, having joined at University in Salford, Greater Manchester. I now live in London, working for the party in the London Assembly. I am an activist, who believes that CF’s greatest contribution to the party would be to get stuck in with the campaigning. I also work as editor for the CF website, CF TV and CF Net.
