In 2015 I was elected to serve as a district councillor, a rookie, the first time I had stood for election to serve the people in my community. Did I know what to expect, what was involved? Not really (I had attended a few council meetings beforehand to see). Did I know what would be […]

@Libdems – A Party on the rise…

by robstickland on 31 July, 2016

Things we’ve heard before: The Libdem’s are finished, heading for extinction… You won’t be surprised to hear, but I disagree. Far from it, wounded from the battering taken at the last General Election, maybe, but still here and rebuilding slowly under the #libdemfightback banner.
