A smart innovation by Lib Dem HQ for the party’s all-member internal elections
One of the pairs of themes running through my Targeting Plus pamphlet about the Liberal Democrats is the intertwined argument that: 1 the Lib Dems need to take data seriously, which means working in ways to collect, correct and expand data into all the party's activities, and 2 shared platforms which are usable from national HQ through to local ward are best as that way the investment in time and money to keep them running maximises the knock-on benefit for everyone else in the party too That's why the innovative approach being used for the one-member one-vote elections for the party's federal committees and associated bodies is so good. (Side-note: I'm standing. Votes, however innovative or traditional, most welcome.)
