How do we each make 2017 a better year for race equality in the UK?
2016 has been one of the worst years for race equality which I have lived through in the UK. It is quite frankly a stain on our country's record which every liberal, whether a member of the Liberal Democrats or not, would not wish to see repeated ever. It is up to us to create a better future, up to each of us personally. We need our political parties to be fit for purpose for race equality campaigners of all backgrounds. Imagine my surprise when I read Roy Lilley's words below on the NHS (in an email from nhsmanagers.net) and saw how well they apply to our party and increasing the involvement of a wider range of people in politics.

The smart Lib Dem strategy in Copeland is to be willing to put off voters
The electoral statistics for the forthcoming Copeland Parliamentary by-election do not look that enticing for Liberal Democrats, even with the party on a mini-run of double figure opinion poll ratings. Not only did the party only poll 3.5% in the 2015 general election, but even the party's best ever-result back in 1983 was just 15.9%. What's more, Chris Hanretty's estimates of how the constituency voted in the European referendum put the Leave vote at 60%. To round it all off, the constituency is dominated economically by an industry which the Liberal Democrats (nearly all the time, Ed Davey notably aside) have been consistently hostile to, for it is home to the Sellafield nuclear complex.
