I have subscribed. You are the first sub stack I've paid to connect to - so I hope it counts.
I'm also mobilising to start commenting / blogging and getting more involved in things down this way. Economic deprivation, inequality, remote and disconnected M.P's down this way (Berkshire) is not as bad as further North, but it is sadly rapidly on the rise. I have lived in three parts of England during my life - the East Midlands, West Yorkshire and the Thames Valley - and some of what the independent hopefuls are tackling your way is most certainly not confined to one region of England or even just England. From contacts in all the four elements of Britain - it's a nationwide issue!
We need to mobilise and find common elements we can easily explain and bring people on side. The strategy of finding an 'in' is also wise. I am a great fan of Paul Wieffels 'Crossing the Chasm' where he explains the need to find appropriate beaching points to land. Failure to do this usually means failure to achieve the large goal. The strategy of finding the weak seats in the regions most affected by an increasing #Uniparty landscape is a good one.
Thanks Richard. I will try to do my bit so others do not have to compensate for me. I do not want to be a passenger in my country, I want to change my country for it was gifted to me by my ancestors. This general election will be interesting - will anything change?
Good strategy Nick, 5,000 votes is a very strong base to build off for a GE with presumably low turnout. All the best.
exactly!!! cheers

More to come - but for now - keep pressing on.
