Election Watch

This Community Living magazine now out has United Response’s pull-out election guide

LDA England held a Citizen Jury on April 2nd in London

All the main Political Parties except the Conservative Party who did not even reply came & were interviewed by 7 people with learning disabilities and 5 family member reps about what they will do for People with Learning Disabilities and Families.

It’s hard to understand why the Conservatives ignored these voters…. on the day Sue Livett used their election material to stand in and answer their questions but understandably the Conservatives ended up placed last in standing up for people’s needs.

 

 

Results were:

Greens 81%    Labour 71%    LibDems 58%   Ukip 36%   Conservatives 18%
