Goodbye Conference Season, Hello Campaigning

The conference season is finally over. The parties have stopped dragging out the idiotic celebs and sports people, and now prepare for the run-in to an election that I believe will be much closer than the polls suggest.

At the moment it looks like it will be an easy win for the Conservatives, but as the big day approaches (no later than June 3rd 2010) there will be a sharp narrowing of the polls. It is one thing to vote for the party of privalege in local and European elections (however despicable it may be), but people will hopefully realise that it is another thing to hand over the running of the whole country to a network of Old Etonians.

The internet provides an opportunity for every person who wants to see a more equal society to contribute to the online discussion. To highlights the good of the left and the evils of the right. Even if people feel there is a need for change, and don't want to support the current Labour government, then few would disagree that the Liberal Democrats are a more acceptable alternative.

There is never an excuse to vote for the right, and it's everybody's job to make sure we get that message across.
