Vince Cable kickstarted our local election campaign today in Yeovil.

And what a place to get the ball rolling.

One of our strengths as a party is our broad, committed base of activists. Sometimes, it can be hard to pick out who in your area might be willing to help – so we’ve put together a guide for you!

You likely already have a large amount of data that you can use to identify potential volunteers – even without canvassing. When someone signs a petition on the national party’s website, the data they provide is synced to Connect too.

We’ve seen this work astonishingly well with our Exit Brexit petition. In some cases over 50% of those in an area who’ve signed it have then gone on to volunteer for us. That’s a pool of a few thousand extra people you could ask!

(Note: you’ll need a Connect account. If you don’t, talk to your local party to get set up. If you’re new to Connect or need a refresher we have plenty of guides available on Lib Dem Learning.)

Last night, the People’s Vote option got more support from MPs than any other option.

Last night, the Liberal Democrats could have delivered Brexit.

Last week’s damning report from the Chief Inspector of Probation makes it clear. We need a radically new approach to rehabilitation.
