Good news – not only will this blog stay online (after considerable thought) but with a desire to refocus and do something new, I have a new site which will be available in a couple of days time

blog.londonliberal.org.uk

Not too much point in clicking on it yet, as the domain is in process of server propagation and will not be available generally until Friday.

So what will this new site be all about?

In no aprticular order or preference:

• LibDem activities in London
• Reports about our GLA AM’s and what they are up to
• Guest contibutors and articles from AM’s, MP’s and councillors
• London campaign issues
• and more things which are all plastered on post-it notes on my wall at the moment

If you are a London LibDem and want to be a contributor, have thoughts on what should be featured (a campaign you are interested in etc) or have any comments in general, please post a reply or contact me on Twitter @ChrisLibDemNW1 and lets talk about it!

I look forward to hearing from you all soon.

Thanks

chris

We did not gain any of the expected seats we where fighting for. We did not gain any seats at all.

Why? Was the council vote a reflection of the general election vote?

Maybe…

Where we fighting in the right wards? (see next posting for an analysis of my ward)

In my opinion? No.

We should have concentrated on the wards in which the Labour Party vote was one we could gain. Why? Westminster Council is historically Tory. There are a number of Labour seats held, and these are where we can make inroads.

Forget fighting the Tories in Westminster, we are in my opinion, not going to win.

Instead, we go for votes we can win.

Will anyone listen to me? I don’t know, but I am going to make my voice heard!

A reminder to you all: I am part of a team of 12 bloggers working on the news desk at LBC 97.3 (Londons’ leading speech radio station) going to air with Iain Dale as the presenter.

Today is the day in which we, as voters, can make a real difference. Whoever you support, you need to go out and vote – place that magic X in the box and make your vote count.

Tonight, from midnight, I will be part of the election team at LBC 97.3, with Iain Dale and leading pundits from all three main parties. I will be one of the 12 guest bloggers working in the newsroom, compiling results, trends, using social networking and media sites and talking to people across the UK.

Be part of the show tonight.

LBC is available online, on DAB in London and across many parts of the UK, in London and surrounding areas on 97.3FM and also on SKY (cannot remember the radio channel number). The studio telephone number is 0845 6060 973 and you can text the show on 84850.

Here’s hoping for a massive LibDem vote and the chance to change the face of British politics forever!

I will be a guest blogger and commentator on the Election Night on London’s leading speech radio station LBC 97.3, therefore, I am looking for other LibDem bloggers who will be observing the election evening (either on a local or national level) from all across the UK.

In order to find information, I will be using twitter (ChrisLibDemNW1), Facebook, LibDem Blog networking tools and more.
