Let’s face it, Lords reform doesn’t come up on the doorsteps often, however important it is.
But there is one group of people in Britain who Lib Dem Voice readers know, who care deeply about Lords reform. Campaigners for AV, who most of us have spent the last 6 months working with, are overwhelmingly in favour of Lords reform.
So today we can all use Lords reform as a great campaigning opportunity. Simply create a local petition (like this one) to make sure that your local MP votes for and campaigns for a 100% elected Lords.
Then send this petition to everyone you know who worked on the Fairer Votes campaign, and to your local Lib Dem members. And don’t forget to also lobby any Liberal Democrat peers who have connections with your area – some of them may need reminding of our policies!
You won’t get thousands of people signing your local petition, but you can both help to make sure that Lords reform is passed, and find people who in the months and years to come will become Lib Dem supporters, members and activists.
