Our
Starting Point
If you
are looking at this page you either came here by accident in which case
you’re very welcome to stay and read some more or you’re
thinking of standing for election or planning an election campaign and
may not know where to start. If you are a member of one of the big three
political parties in the UK, the Labour
Party, The
Conservatives or the Liberal
Democrats, you probably have access to other people in your campaign
team who have done this before so talk to them.
This site
is for the benefit of independents, local campaign groups and those
who represent smaller political parties where branches may not be established
everywhere and where the experience of electoral campaigning may be
limited.
Most elections
fought by such groups are local elections so some of the language used
on this site relates to ward level or even polling district level campaigning.
I am going to assume that you do not have unlimited resources in terms
of people, money or time, but have to prioritise your activities.
