The 2010 Elections

The rules about Parliamentary elections mean that we will have a General Election this year.  The rules about local councils mean that we'll also have elections for the City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council.

As Webmaster, I think one of my duties is to do my best to put material about both of these elections on this Website.  I can't promise it will always be bang up to date, or that it will be complete, but those are my aims, subject to other claims on my time.

First the General Election...

An obvious question is what our party stands for.  There are already two things on the site about that:
The preamble to our Party's Constitution  - and you can see the essence of it at the top right of every page on this site.
Another is a document called, A Party of Principle, which sets out a concise summary of where we've come from and where we are now.

I'll add other links as they become available.

The local elections...

Our current first priority is the road traffic situation in the town.  Look here to see what we think.

We also want more devolution of powers from Bradford to Keighley.

Finally, relevant to all elections this year, you should know that our leader, Nick Clegg, will be holding a meeting in Bradford this Thursday, 21/1/2010.  If you'd like to go, you should apply for a ticket here.

Thanks for your interest.

Site accessibility policy

WCAG 2.0 'AAA', check it with ATRC Accessibility Checker *. Valid HTML 4.01 Transitional *

We aim at the highest possible accessibility standards - WCAG 1.0, AAA and WCAG 2.0, level 3 (with valid HTML).  Unfortunately, that's hard to prove.  The checker linked above, for instance, fails almost every page on the site, but when I follow up the "faults", so far, they have all turned out to be warnings about issues that have been taken into account.  Please feel free to check for yourself, then if you find an exception, please

In accord with our aim of accessibility, it is site policy not to specify font families or point sizes for our pages.  You can choose the size and typeface you see: set the 'default font' in your own browser.  (Roger Beaumont has published some instructions about how to set your default font.)

Volunteers required.  We use the automated checking tools above to try to make this Website accessible but need help from someone who has a real sight disability to give us feedback about practical use with a screen-reader - especially about problems.  If you can help, we'd be very glad to hear from you.


The REAL alternative

"The Liberal Democrats exist to build and safeguard a free, fair and open society, in which we seek to balance the fundamental values of liberty, equality and community and in which no-one shall be enslaved by poverty, ignorance or conformity."
Preamble to the Liberal Democrat Federal Constitution, first sentence.

"Hope not hate"
