National Liberal Debate 11 – Outside Of London Who Should National Liberals Vote For In The Euro-Elections? Have Your Say!

THE MANY problems faced by Britain – whether economic or social – are not going to be solved by screaming and shouting. Thus, the National Liberal Party is not interested in ‘hitting the headlines’ using the tired formula of macho–posturing and gesture politics. These problems will only be overcome by a combination of careful thought and action.

This means that we favour informed and reasoned debate. Here we concentrate on arguments, points of view and facts. We are not interested in personalities, prejudice or promoting self-interest.

The National Liberal Party seeks to build an organisation that encourages free speech and debate. To do this, we also attempt to take into consideration as many views as is possible in open debate. Thus, members and supporters are always encouraged to have their say.

We’re also interested in encouraging people to develop their debating skills. That’s why the NLP has introduced a new series of articles called Have Your Say! Whilst each subject will be announced on this web-site, they’ll be conducted in full on the National Liberals Facebook site, which can be found here: http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/groups/52739504313/?fref=ts

Before we start this debate we’d like to remind folks of our ground rules:

First of all, say what you think – but think what you say.

Secondly, just debate the issue(s) raised. There should be no personal attacks.

As previously noted, we’re simply not interested in personalities.

Please note that we may ask selected members and supporters to play ‘devil’s advocate’. Hopefully, this’ll help sharpen the debating skills of all involved!

Finally, it should be remembered that all of the views expressed in Have Your Say! are personal and should not be taken to be the official view of the NLP itself.

This debate concerns the European Elections due to be held later this month. Here the National Liberal Party is standing a full slate of eight candidates in London under the banner Self-Determination For All! But London is only one constituency out of a total of 12 throughout the UK.

Sadly, the NLP is a relatively new and very young movement so we can’t stand throughout the UK. Therefore, anyone living outside of the London Region cannot vote for the NLP. Therefore, our question for National Liberals is simple: Outside of London, who should National Liberals vote for in the forthcoming European Elections?
