If you aren't thoroughly disillusioned with UK politics and hell-bent on doing something about it, I don't know how much more mayhem it will take.The good news is that even Gordon Brown admits he has to unwind his vast public sector binge of the past twelve years. The chips are really down.
But as the great HST himself said, "when the going gets tough, the weird turn pro".
So now is the time to ensure we get to keep and invest in what's important.
Enter Power 2010, a campaign chaired by Helena Kennedy and funded by the Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust and the Joseph Rowntree Reform Trust.
Like MySociety, Power 2010 uses the internet to enable you to share your thoughts in a way that politicians cannot ignore without being called to public account. It doesn't matter whether Parliament is sitting or not. The internet is always on, 24-hours of disinfecting sunlight shining into the Westminster pit.
So please share your ideas now, at http://www.power2010.org.uk/page/s/yourideas.
Hi John,
ReplyDeleteI noticed you've written about Power2010 - thanks for sharing your ideas. I thought you might like this fun Grade Gordon tool the campaign has put together for people to give their verdict on the Queen's speech:

It’s not high quality analysis or anything, but a fun thing you might want to link to for people to either applaud Brown or let off a little steam...!
There's a button that can be used on websites too that bloggers might like to put in their sidebars

Thank you for your support and if you wish to discuss our campaign further please feel free to get in touch with me.
Kind regards
